Bøger af Camille Morineau

The iconic champagne house guides readers through the fascinating history of Maison Veuve Clicquot, its heritage, savoir-faire and cultural imprint through iconic objects, advertising, music, literature, and movies. On the occasion of its 250th anniversary, Veuve Clicquot imagined "Solaire Culture," its first traveling exhibition on a global scale. This non-museal, immersive and 100% feminine exhibition aims to establish a compelling dialogue between past and present, interpreted through the eyes of internationally renowned women artists such as Yayoi Kusama, Sheila Hicks, Monique Frydman and Tacita Dean. It also showcases the striking contemporary artwork specially commissioned for the occasion as well as documents from the House''s archives. Author Monica Sabolo retraces the life of Madame Clicquot - Barbe Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, a tireless optimist and an audacious trailblazer who revolutionized the world of champagne with three major inventions still in use today. English edition.

Trained at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris in the atelier of Georges Jeanclos, Elsa Sahal quickly focused on working with ceramics for their sensuality and fragility. Former resident at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts, in 2013 (Helena, MT), at Alfred University, New York State College of Ceramics, in 2009-2010 (Alfred, NY) and at the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres (2007-2008), Elsa Sahal has also taught at the Haute École d'Art et de Design in Geneva and at the École Supérieure d'Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg. She experiments in particular with the idea of volume and balance in sculpture, while returning to an exploration of the themes of the body and femininity. Ambiguous, dense, sensual and colourful, her works oscillate between anthropomorphic landscape and the landscaped body, taking up Cézanne's dream of uniting women's curves with the shoulders of hills. Elsa Sahal conceives, kneads and then produces complex and disturbing forms sustained by dense colours and sublimated through enamel. Winner of the MAIF prize for sculpture, in 2008, and the contemporary sculpture prize awarded by the Fondazione Francesco Messina, in 2007, Elsa Sahal has presented her work in one-woman shows and group exhibitions in numerous museums around the globe: at the Bonnefantenmuseum, 'Ceramix, Ceramic art from Gauguin to Schütte', in 2015 (Maastricht); at the MAD Museum, 'Body and Soul, New International Ceramics', in 2013 (New York); at the Fondation d'entreprise Ricard, 'Sculptures', in 2008 (Paris); and at the Incheon Women Artists Biennale, in 2008 (Korea).
