Louis Cartier(1875-1942)是Cartier创始人Louis-Fran?ois的孙子,他是一位热情的收藏家和艺术赞助人。他特别迷恋伊斯兰艺术,尤其是波斯书籍艺术:它们的几何形状、颜色组合和图案至今在卡地亚珠宝中都很明显。路易的弟弟雅克--一位宝石专家--于1911年和1912年前往印度和波斯湾,体验中东的文化,并将中东的宝藏带回家:天然珍珠。这是一个关键时刻,这两个世界之间的对话打开了,最终绽放出一种美丽的关系,持续了几十年。
A sumptuous exploration of the ways in which the Islamic arts have inspired the famous jewelry house Cartier, this book accompanies a major exhibition at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs, Paris, and the Dallas Museum of Art.
Louis Cartier (1875–1942), the grandson of Cartier founder Louis-Fran?ois, was an impassioned collector and patron of the arts. He was particularly entranced by Islamic arts, especially Persian book arts: their geometric shapes, color combinations, and motifs are apparent in Cartier jewelry to this day. Louis’s younger brother Jacques―an expert in precious stones―traveled to India and the Persian Gulf in 1911 and 1912 to experience the culture and bring home treasures of the Middle East: natural pearls. This was the pivotal moment when the dialogue between these two worlds opened up, eventually blossoming into a beautiful relationship that has lasted for decades.
