内容简介

追踪沙逊家族的全球历史，从巴格达到孟买、上海和伦敦的企业家和杰出艺术和建筑的赞助人。

沙逊家族在十九世纪的巴格达作为奥斯曼帝国苏丹的银行家和财务主管而繁荣，直到他们被宗教迫害和经济压力赶出。承担着无国籍犹太人的不稳定地位，这个家族分散了，在孟买、上海和伦敦建立了企业。他们的财富使他们能够从欢迎他们的各种文化中收集辉煌的艺术作品。本书通过沙逊家族收藏的艺术品，讲述了沙逊家族的全球故事。本书以绘画、瓷器、手稿、犹太教和建筑为例，图文并茂地介绍了作为艺术赞助人和杰出建筑赞助商的家族成员，强调了家族中杰出女性的作用。瑞秋-沙逊在二十世纪初曾是伦敦《泰晤士报》和《观察家报》的编辑。战争诗人齐格弗里德-沙逊是他的表亲。维克多-沙逊在他位于上海的国泰酒店接待了20世纪20年代和30年代的社会名流。这本迷人而优雅的书--带有镀金边缘和丝带书标--以家族树为特色，探讨了几代沙逊人，对他们来说，艺术不仅是他们进入上流社会的标志，而且本身就是一种乐趣。

Tracing the global history of the Sassoon family, entrepreneurs and patrons of remarkable art and architecture, from Baghdad to Mumbai, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and London

The Sassoons were prosperous as bankers and treasurers to the Ottoman sultans in nineteenth-century Baghdad, until they were driven out by religious persecution and economic pressures. Assuming the precarious status of stateless Jews, the family dispersed, establishing businesses in Mumbai, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and London. Their wealth enabled them to collect splendid works of art from the various cultures that welcomed them. This volume tells the sweeping global story of the Sassoon family through the works of art they collected. Lavishly illustrated with paintings, porcelain, manuscripts, Judaica, and architecture, it foregrounds family members who were patrons of art and sponsors of remarkable buildings, highlighting the role of the family’s accomplished women. Rachel Sassoon was editor of both the Times and the Observer newspapers in London at the turn of the twentieth century. The renowned war poet Siegfried Sassoon was a cousin. Victor Sassoon hosted the glitterati of the 1920s and 1930s at his Cathay Hotel in Shanghai. This fascinating and elegant book—with gilt edges and a ribbon bookmark—features a family tree and explores generations of Sassoons for whom art was not only a mark of their arrival in the rarefied world of the upper class but a pleasure in itself.
