Whoever said "Everything old is new again" could have been talking about French Pompadour Style. The flamboyant, opulent, refined aesthetic -- so characteristic of the eighteenth century -- has enjoyed a spectacular revival in recent years. In "The New Eighteenth-Century Style," journalist Michhle Lalande and photographer Gilles Trillard, both experts in the field of interior dicor, survey 30 examples of this quintessential blending of exquisite detail and ostentatious affluence. From lush velvet upholstery to the emblematic use of turquoise with gold accents, these perfectly captured interiors beguile the reader with well-worn extravagance. In an era of "shabby chic" the more refined, more pristine accents of Pompadour may be just what the world of interior dicor needs -- and this beautiful book provides an indispensable guide.

Download and read online ebook The Styles of Eighteenth Century Ballet write by Edmund Fairfax. This book was released on 2003. The Styles of Eighteenth Century Ballet available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The current notion of ballet history holds that the theatrical dance of the eighteenth century was simple, earthbound, and limited in range of motion scarcely different from the ballroom dance of the same period. Contemporary opinion also maintains that this early form of ballet was largely a stranger to the tours de force of grand jumps, multiple turns, and lifts so typical of classical ballet, owing to a supposed prevailing sense of Victorian-like decorum. The Styles of Eighteenth-Century Ballet explodes this utterly false view of ballet history, showing that there were in fact a variety of different styles of dance cultivated in this era, from the simple to the remarkably difficult, from the dignified earthbound to the spirited airborne, from the gravely serious to the grotesquely ridiculous. This is a fascinating exploration of the various styles of eighteenth-century dance covering ballroom and ballet, the four traditional styles of theatrical dance, regional preferences for given styles, and the importance of caprice, dance according to gender, the overall voluptuous nature of stage dancing, and finally dance notation and costume. Fairfax takes the reader on an in-depth journey through the world of ballet in the age of Mozart, Boucher, and Casanova.
