Places to see in ( Paris - France ) Musee des Arts Decoratifs
Musée des Arts Décoratifs, a museum of the decorative arts and design, located in the Palais du Louvre's western wing, known as the Pavillon de Marsan, at 107 rue de Rivoli, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, France. It is one of three museum locations of Les Arts Décoratifs. The museum also hosts exhibitions of fashion, advertising and graphic art from its collections from the formerly separate but now defunct Musée de la Publicité and Musée de la mode et du textile.
The museum collection was founded in 1905 by members of the Union des Arts Décoratifs. The architect was Gaston Redon. It houses and displays furniture, interior design, altar pieces, religious paintings, objets d'arts, tapestries, wallpaper, ceramics and glassware, plus toys from the Middle Ages to the present day. The collection is primarily composed of French furniture, tableware, carpets such as those from Aubusson, porcelain such as that by the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, and a large number of glass pieces by René Lalique, Émile Gallé and many others. It includes numerous works in the Art Nouveau and Art Déco styles and modern examples by designers like Eileen Gray and Charlotte Perriand. However, the museum's deep holdings range back to 13th-century Europe.
Of interest to the public are the period rooms. Examples include part of Jeanne Lanvin's house (decorated by Albert-Armand Rateau (1884–1938) in the early 1920s) at 16 rue Barbet-de-Jouy in Paris. Others are graphic artist Eugène Grasset's dining room of 1880, and the 1752 Gold Cabinet of Avignon. And, peculiar to a French museum it seems, there is the 1875 bedroom of courtesan Lucie Émilie Delabigne, purportedly the inspiration for the main character in Émile Zola's novel Nana (1880). There is a famous ceiling there once owned by the famous Jeanne Baptiste d'Albert de Luynes, mistress of the then duke of Savoy.
Some of the museum's vast number of exhibitions has been distinguished. Yvonne Brunhammer, a curator and then director of the museum for over four decades from the early 1950s and the person who rediscovered Eileen Gray, organized the 1966 exhibition, Les Années '25': Art Déco/Bauhaus/Stijl Esprit Nouveau. The exhibition served to coin Art Déco, the term that came to describe design between the World Wars, particularly French modern design.
The museum is somewhat on a par with similar and venerable decorative-arts and design-focused institutions such as the more international Victoria and Albert Museum in London and was the inspiration for the Hewitt sisters' collection in the Cooper Union (the ancestor of the no-longer-affiliated Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum) in New York City. However, due to the large number of fine-art exhibitions mounted at the Paris museum, its focus has been diluted and caused its name—Musée des Art Decoratifs—to be a misnomer.

250 years of famed crystal glassware makers Baccarat ++REPLAY++
Five hundred pieces of crystal glassware by famed makers Baccarat are on display at the Petit Palais Museum in Paris.
Marking the 250th anniversary of the company, the exhibition is first Baccarat retrospective in France since the bicentenary exhibition held at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in 1964.
The Petit Palais Museum in Paris is being lit up by the crystal glassware by Baccarat.
The building was built for the World's Fair in 1900 and this exhibition includes several creations designed by Baccarat for the big World's fairs (expositions universelles) in Paris between 1823 and 1937.
The shows brought the brand international recognition and commissions from leading figures and celebrities all over the world.
For Baccarat, the year 2014 marks its 250th anniversary. Baccarat was founded in 1764 in the small village of Lorraine, called Baccarat, says Michaela Lerch-Moulin, curator of the Baccarat exhibition.
In a setting highlighting the skills of some of the industry's greatest craftsmen, visitors can see for the first time works grouped according to their stylistic affinities or the context they were created in, as well as drawings of Baccarat creations and other archival material.
Today, we're presenting here about 500 pieces, including 450 coming from our own heritage collections. They are all masterpieces, exceptional artworks, that were presented during big World's Fairs, such as big candelabra, chandeliers, royal services, prestigious orders, says Lerch-Moulin.
The artwork selection is completed by loans of significant items from the Musee d'Orsay, the Louvre, the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, the Cite de la Ceramique, the Musee des Arts et Metiers, the Chateau de Compiegne and the Musees de Nancy.
Among these artworks, visitors can admire a dressing table and chair formerly belonging to the Duchesse de Berry, the mother of the Duke of Bordeaux. It was made in crystal and gilded bronze around 1819.
It's inspired by antique times with the exceptional performance that represented the creation of crystal furniture, says Dominique Morel, head curator at the Petit Palais Museum.
This was the first time that people saw crystal furniture.
The dressing table and chair - a loan from the Louvre Museum - were made in the workshops of Madame Desarnaud, who opened her famous Escalier de Cristal store in Paris's Palais-Royal quarter in 1802.
She was the first to place a commission for crystal furniture.
The crystals were supplied by Aime-Gabriel d'Artigues, who was in charge of the Voneche Crystalworks, in Belgium and, from 1816, the Baccarat Crystalworks.
The ensemble, shown at the National Exhibition of Products of French Industry in 1819 at the Louvre, was purchased in 1822 by the Duchesse de Berry.
Another masterpiece is a pair of Simon vases in clear crystal cased in ruby crystal with a wheel-engraved decoration presented at the World Fair in 1867, dated and signed by Jean-Baptiste Simon.
This vase is made of three crystal parts, the base, the body and the lid, blown in clear crystal cased in ruby crystal with 24-carat gold, says Lerch-Moulin.
The decor on both these vases with lids, wheel-engraved by Jean-Baptiste Simon, found its inspiration in two paintings from the The Four Elements series by Charles Joseph Natoire.
The central medallion of the Allegory of Water vase features the nymph Amphitrite, surrounded by aquatic animals, while the other side represents Neptune.
The central medallion of the Allegory of Earth vase represents the Earth goddess Ceres, sheltering under a tree.
The other side of the vase depicts Cybele, the goddess of fertility.
Each piece took around a year to produce.
There's also clear crystal and ruby crystal glasses, made for the Tzar Nicholas II of Russia.

Paris micro-apartment stacks kitchen, bed, bath in 129 sq ft
When architect Julie Nabucet was asked to fit the rooms of a full-sized apartment in a 129-square-foot (12 m2) flat in the center of Paris (Montorgueil quarter), she stacked functions: she elevated the kitchen and rolled a bed-slash-sofa underneath (pulled out halfway, it's a couch; pulled out fully, it's a bed). To separate the cooking area from the sleeping/living room she used plywood boxes stacked as a wall. The boxes facing the kitchen are used as cabinets; those facing the bedroom are used as bookshelves.
In the two-square-meter bathroom (21-square-feet), she squeezed an Italian shower (wet bath). There wasn't enough space for a sink so she placed this outside the bathroom. To separate it from the kitchen she created a wooden netting that gives a sense of isolation, but allows light to pass through.
Original story:
Painted Masks by FABIEN DELAUBE
Fabien Delaube was born in Bordeaux, France in 1973. He studied photography and audiovisual before finally turning to fine arts and applied & decorative arts. He currently works as a decorator while exhibiting his paintings between Paris and his hometown.
He was always interested in African masks as well as masks from other ancient civilizations... especially fascinated by their magic powers.
What interests and surprises Fabien in everyday life, is the way in which a lot of people hide their real personalities or their profound feelings, behind a kind of permanent mask. Once this mask is raised or should for any reason fall off, there is always a fragile and delicate human being behind it. He paints faces because (in his own words)... for me, there is nothing more expressive as well as the feelings which pass by the glance. As when you look yourself in the mirror, you can take place in the skin of my characters and feel their feelings which I wanted to express. Masks represent a kind of perfection, something divine, of more hardly than my characters. The view of these masks frightens people and impose total respect. Finally, perhaps when my characters get old and when they have found their own roads in life, their masks are starting to disappear...

Inessential Colors: A History of Color in Architectural Drawings, 16th–19th Centuries
Since 2007, Basile Baudez has been Maître de Conférences in heritage studies and architectural history at Université Paris-Sorbonne, Paris IV. For the 2015–2016 year he was a Visiting Scholar in the History of Art Department at the University of Pennsylvania. His research has been supported by fellowships from CASVA at the National Gallery of Art and the Getty Research Institute. He received his PhD from the École Pratique des Hautes Études in 2006 and published his dissertation at the Presses Universitaires de Rennes under the title Architecture et tradition académique au siècle des Lumières. His main areas of research are the history of architectural schools and the Beaux-Arts system as well as the history of architectural representation in the Western world. He co-edited a monograph on Les Hôtels de la Guerre et des Affaires étrangères à Versailles (Paris: Chaudun, 2010) and a volume Chalgrin et son temps: architectes et architecture de d’Ancien Régime à la Révolution (Bordeaux: William Blake & co., 2016). He has published extensively, including in La Revue de l’Art, Metropolitan Museum Journal, Journal of Art Historiography, Bulletin Monumental, The Burlington Magazine, and Livraisons d’Histoire de l’Architecture. He curated the exhibition À la Source de l’Antique (2011) at the École des Beaux-Arts, devoted to Italian, Russian, and French neoclassical architectural drawings, and he co-curated, with Nicholas Olsberg, the exhibition Civic Utopia, France 1765–1837 (2016-2017) at the Courtauld Institute of Art. His current book project addresses the history of color in architectural representation from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century.
Architectural historians have focused on the history of drawing primarily as a project design tool. By applying the methods of art history, this talk traces color as a key player in the long history of rivalry and exchange between European traditions in architectural drawing and practice. While Italian Renaissance drawings were largely monochrome and developed their conventions under pressure from engravers, seventeenth-century European drawings are characterized by a contrast between a colorful German and Dutch world—developed around architect-painters’ designs that influenced French and Spanish draughtsmanship—and a still largely monochrome tradition in Italy and England. At the end of Louis XIV’s reign, French architects adopted color conventions taken from engineers, largely for informational purposes. In the middle of the eighteenth century, however, a color revolution took place, one in which a new generation of architects who were working alongside painters developed a wide chromatic range that was no longer limited to informing the worker but to persuading academic juries and gaining commissions. This eighteenth-century French employment of color laid the foundation for Beaux-Arts architectural drawings in the first half of the nineteenth century, at a moment when English architectural drawings also adopted color in response to the English watercolor movement.

Visite d'un appartement Napoleon III sur la Riviera - Un decor de maison close de la Belle Epoque!
Un art de fête qui reflète bien cette époque : le Second Empire où des fortunes séchafaudaient sur la spéculation immobilière. Le Baron Haussmann, alors préfet de Paris, redessinait le centre de la capitale, qui maintenant encore, et grâce à lui,reste une des plus belles villes du monde. De très jolies femmes, un peu légères, appelées lionnes se plaisaient à dévorer la fortune de ces hommes qui mettaient à leurs pieds bijoux, toilettes et équipages, leur offrant de somptueux hôtels partculiers, regorgeant de meubles et bibelots précieux, sièges capitonnés, nacres et dorures,créant ainsi par cette surabondance de luxe le fameux style cocotte. Elles donnaient des fêtes fastueuses conviant le monde des arts et des lettres dans leurs salons, qui faisaient pâlir denvie toute laristocratie enfermée dans ses traditions.
