インテリアデザイン

デザイン界の権威であるアラン・パワーズが、インテリアの中でアートが発揮する魅力をさまざまな角度から追求、解説。絵の色調、質感、形を部屋のなかでどのように組み合わせ表現するか?部屋の雰囲気をいかにして演出するか?効果を最大に発揮するアートの組み合わせ方は?家具、調度に調和するアートをどのようにして見つけ出すか?絵画とオブジェを組み合わせて一幅の静物画を作る手法とは?等々。そのほか、見るひとを驚かせ感動させる視覚的錯覚の活用、絵の額装と展示の技術などについてもあわせて紹介。さらには、数点の絵や写真を効果的に組み合わせて陳列する「集合と連続」の手法、伝統的な額縁を活かす飾りつけ、絵を壁からはずして飾る斬新な展示方法などについても特に項目を設けて詳しく解説。あなたの住まいを、印象的で個性あふれる芸術空間にコーディネイトするための貴重な情報を満載。

現代美術の刺激に満ちたカンバスから冷蔵庫の扉にとめられたお気に入りの絵葉書まで、アートは住まいに個性を与える最高の小道具。最高の演出でアートが活かされている世界各国の室内空間を、140枚以上の写真で紹介する。

For some of us, walls don't just hold the roof up--they're also the spot we choose to show off our favorite artists, collections, or random found objects. For proper effect, these treasures shouldn't just be chosen to match the sofa or tacked up to cover scuff marks in the paint, but planned with particular moods in mind. Author Alan Powers fills Living with Pictures with text and photographs designed to educate both eye and brain in the special art of picture grouping and how plain walls can best be used as a means of displaying their owners' personal style. Powers delves into specifics like texture, form, framing, and mood, showing every style from modern minimalism to baroque, and he discusses how to incorporate windows and other architectural features in detail, as well as how to protect delicate works of art from sun and moisture damage. When walls are made entirely of glass, as in one ultramodern living space, a sleek easel functions as a movable wall while displaying a treasured oil painting. Stark black-and-white photos enliven a stainless-steel kitchen, while a wall of antique cartoon illustrations adds a whimsical touch to an otherwise traditional room. Creativity and practicality are nicely blended here; decorators and new homeowners alike will enjoy this book both as a guide and an inspiration. --Jill Lightner
