 Lalique Takes Part in RococoLalique will be represented by eight historic masterworks in the exhibition Rococo: The Continuous Curve, 1730-2008, opening March 7, 2008.Lalique jewelry, glass, and rare design drawings will illustrate the evolution of the rococo style as it entered the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This exhibition is the first museum survey of rococo and its ongoing resurgence. It will trace the movement's birth, rebirth and transformation across centuries and continents. Lalique's objects will illustrate the chronological modifications to the rococo style that occurred when elements of it were incorporated into the art nouveau style popular during the late 1800s and the art deco style of the 1920s. René Lalique is considered one of the great master's of the art nouveau style and his exceptional sensibility is reflected in the five exquisite pieces of jewelry that will be on view. more Lalique Takes Part in Rococo design directory Lalique > Glass Design Companies added by Levent OZLER |
