Rizzoli International Publications Piero Fornasetti Practical Madness
Book SynopsisAn extensive illustrated survey of one of the most inventive design minds of the twentieth century. Combining whimsy and elegance, Piero Fornasetti transformed everyday objects like cups, scarves, and plates into much sought-after works of art with his idiosyncratic motifs, such as the hand, the female face, and luminescent fish. His dazzling pieces of trompe l’oeil furniture, created in collaboration with Gio Ponti, are also highly prized by collectors worldwide. Fornasetti’s boundless imagination is celebrated here in a book published to document a major retrospective exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. The first half of the monograph is organized by type and includes Fornasetti’s paintings, drawings, and furniture. The second half focuses on favorite themes: his use of trompe l’oeil, architectural drawings, and his variations on the face of a famous operatic beauty. Featuring 400 illustrations covering almTrade Review"Piero Fornasetti is a comprehensive introduction to the work of Fornasetti. . . This book is an excellent addition to the literature on design. It is a must-read for students and experts of design alike." -THE WASHINGTON BOOK REVIEW"I love [Piero Fornasetti: Practical Madness]. I don't know how you couldn't."-INTO THE GLOSS BLOG

It examines what makes an object Italian in a world characterized by increasingly interconnected production, marketing, and consumption networks…The book does several things well: it describes the complex synthesis of regional, national, and international influences that have combined to affect how Italian design is understood; brings attention to the influence of craft on Italian design history; and offers an extensive, up-to-date bibliography. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above; general readers. -- A. R. Michelson, University of Washington Libraries * CHOICE *Made in Italy offers a multi-faceted picture of how the fiction of the nation has been edited and rewritten over the course of the 20th century in the service of yet another enduring fiction—one based on both the facts and myths of Italian design. This carefully curated collection of essays asks us to understand that the relationship between geography and design is, and was, never contained in a map but something far less stable—culture. -- Susan Yelavich, Parsons The New School for Design, USATable of ContentsIntroduction: The History of Italian Design, Kjetil Fallan, University of Oslo, Norway, and Grace Lees-Maffei, University of Hertfordshire, UK 1.
