With Contemporary Jewellery in Portugal Cristina Filipe presents a comprehensive examination of the history of Portuguese studio jewellery from the dawn of the avant-garde in the 1960s through to the contemporary trends of the early twenty-first century. Filipe sheds light on societal upheavals as well as on the actors who helped to transform jewellery design in Portugal. For here, too -- and even under the pressure and restrictions of the Estado Novo dictatorship under António de Oliveira Salazar (1930s through to the so-called Carnation Revolution of 1974) -- artists reacted to international influences and developed their specific responses to them. Courtesy of numerous interviews with protagonists from the different generations, the author has accomplished a detailed record of developments and trends in contemporary jewellery in Portugal.

This book was released on 2020-10. In Flux available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In the 1960s and 1970s, a generation of young Americans rejected the promise of prosperity and the suburban dream embraced by their parents. Furious about the war in Vietnam, fighting for civil rights at home, and eagerly exploring the effects of psychedelic drugs, the delights of free love, and the mystical teachings of eastern religions, thousands followed the advice to "turn on, tune in, drop out," bringing about a counterculture in the process. For many American jewelers, these events and values found their way into the studio, as well as affecting how they lived, worked, and loved. Jewelers, like other studio craftspeople, rode the wave of popularity for the hand-made and authentic that was at the heart of the counterculture. In Flux is the story of how their jewelry contributed to the raucous, contradictory, and enthusiastic clamor for a new kind of society that made the 1960s and 1970s so extraordinary.

Download and read online ebook The Best in Contemporary Jewellery write by David Watkins. This book was released on 1993. The Best in Contemporary Jewellery available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "The Art of jewellery-making has taken many forms, and today the most adventurous and innovative is one in which the values of art and the individual are set above the concerns of fashion, commerce and industry. Emerging as an international movement in the early 1970s, contemporary jewellery is now a well-established category in the art world." "This reappraisal of the nature and role of jewellery is, with gathering momentum, regenerating the ancient art, so that the meaning and purpose of jewellery is being redefined for the present-day world. Contemporary jewellery, as described by these criteria, has become one of the most intensive and absorbing sectors in the international arts." "The Best in Contemporary Jewellery is a snapshot survey of recent work by 64 outstanding artists, craftsmen and designers from 14 countries. Three sections - Idea, Object and Image - offer a unique perspective on their individual attitudes and achievements. Idea is a short portfolio of sketch designs and inspirations from some of the contributors, while Object, the main core of the book, is a gallery show of several works from each artist. The last section, Image, shows a selection of objects against the body." "Beautifully illustrated throughout, The Best in Contemporary Jewellery is a celebration of some of the most outstanding craftsmanship and imagination displayed in recent jewellery-making."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
