Description:
GOLD - the colour of kings, wealth and light
From royal death masks to biblical scenes, from magnificent portraits to simple toilets - gold fascinates and has conquered art since early times: Byzantine mosaics, Aztec jewellery, Giotto's altarpieces, Rembrandt's portraits, Klein's monochromes, Jeff Koons' neo-kitsch art ...
Gold is used to treat all themes and decorate all materials. It adorns itself with the greatest riches to support our imagination or to denounce the consumerism of our society. But doesn't our fascination with gold lie precisely in this contradiction?
Discover the history of the colour gold in art. Based on 40 iconic representations, this book offers a careful selection of unmissable but also surprising works, with information in the form of timelines, maps, graphics, anecdotes and in-depth texts on each artwork.
