简介
设计与装饰性物品颂扬新艺术运动与生活艺术。本书站在艺术、美学与诗学遗产的交汇处，邀请读者参与一场视觉盛宴，通过艺术与装饰性物品颂扬收藏之趣与对自然的热爱。书名中的“盛宴”特别指向与享用美食相关的器物，尤其是那些体现饮食与自然环境联系的物件。书中精选的作品从新艺术运动时期延续至今，包括来自大英博物馆、荷兰国立博物馆和大都会艺术博物馆的藏品，如Gallé、Christofle和Lalanne等设计师的花瓶、玻璃器皿和餐盘。全书由诗人关根美子以“让盛宴中的物品开口说话”的引言开篇，由策展人Benjamin Loyauté逐一介绍和描述每件作品。书中还收录了Jean-Louis Gallemin关于新艺术运动及其与抽象关系的宣言、Yves élie关于蜜蜂和蜂巢重要性的论述，以及Laure Ménétrier关于植物学如何塑造收藏实践的探讨。

Designs and decorative objects celebrating Art Nouveau and the art of living. At the crossroads of an artistic, aesthetic and poetic heritage, A Banquet of Wonders: Delighting in the World invites readers to partake in a visual feast of art and decorative objects celebrating the taste for collecting and the love of nature. The "banquet" of the title refers specifically to the objects and utensils laid out for consuming a meal, especially those that celebrate food and drink's connection to the natural environment. Selected pieces range from the Art Nouveau period to the present day, and include vases, glasses and plates from designers such as Gallé, Christofle and Lalanne, sourced from the British Museum, the Rijksmuseum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The collection is introduced by poet Ryoko Sekiguchi, who "makes the objects of the banquet speak," thus decentralizing our gaze. Each piece is then listed and described by curator Benjamin Loyauté. Additional essays include a manifesto on Art Nouveau and its relationship to abstraction by Jean-Louis Gallemin, a treatise on the importance of bees and honeycombs by Yves élie, and a discussion by Laure Ménétrier of how botany informs the practice of collecting.
