In addition to being exceptionally lovely, this volume contains a useful and substantial text on Jones's career, theory, and contribution to the fields of architecture and architectural and decorative ornament. Flores (architecture and planning, Ball State U.), a specialist on Jones, describes Jones's buildings, designs, and publications as part of a coherent and full account of his career. The text is heavily illustrated with color and b&w plates, including many full-page plates, all of superb quality. The volume is oversized: 10.25x12.25".

Hardcover. Condizione: Used - Very Good. Owen Jones was, and still remains, a highly influential force in the world of architecture and design. His prolific and impressive work--captured here in its various stages through drawings, architectural plans, and photographs--is as current, imaginative, and important now as when it first emerged more than 125 years ago. Owen Jones: Design, Ornament, Architecture & Theory in an Age in Transition fills a serious gap in the history of Victorian design. In his early career Jones was recognized as an authority on Oriental design. In the 1850s he was commissioned to decorate the interior of Joseph Paxton's magnificent World's Fair Crystal Palace in London. Other signature projects include St. James' Hall, the Crystal Palace Bazaar, Osler's Glass Shop, and Eynsham Hall at Oxford. In 1856 he completed his monumental Grammar of Ornament, which remains one of the most influential works on design ever published and is a source for many artists and designers today. More than just an architect, Jones' skills were applied to designing interiors, books, textiles, furniture, and carpet. His philosophy can most accurately be expressed in his words, 'Form without color is like a body without a soul.' Book has minor shelf wear. Book has dust particles on it. Book is a remainder, but has NO markings and is 100%. Codice articolo 20110203127426
