Thirty-Six Views of the Eiffel Tower Art Nouveau Decorative Teal Embossed Cover

Description: Paris France Art Coffee Table book Thirty-Six Views of the Eiffel Tower by Henri Riviere, like new with original packaging. Unique and gorgeous art book for your bookshelf or coffee table incorporating Impressionism, Art Nouveau and Japanese Woodblock styles, a rare and perfect gift for anyone who love PARIS or early 20th Century art or just beautiful books. The book is a facsimile of the original collection of Riviere's prints, created between 1888 and 1902, along with the artist's original introduction in charming French typography (with a translation and afterword in English). Riviere was inspired by Japanese icon Hokusai's Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, and underscored this theme by using the medium of Japanese woodblock printing to product his art prints. The result is a Rashoman-like exploration of the Paris landscape with the Eiffel Tower appearing from multiple points of view and playing a different role in every composition. Each print is stunning on its own; together they tell a rich historic story. Teal cover with deeply dimensional embossed medallions is in very good condition with original removable sleeve. No dust cover as published. Interior is immaculate, in unread/reads like new condition. In excellent giftable condition overall. Each print is one full page (blank on back) so can be removed for framing. Published 2010 by Chronicle Books. About 11.5 x 9 inches, 106 pages. Shipped quickly and securely.
