LECTURE: "LET US TELL YOU ABOUT ORNAMENT" Vouvray - Salle Val-aux-Fleurs By Evelyne Thomas, Ph.D. in Art History (Centre André Chastel), author of %AB Vocabulaire illustré de l’ornement %BB.Ornament is a world rich in invention, a repertoire of forms that has spanned centuries and civilizations. Always the same yet always different, it is imbued with the spirit of place and time, and thrives on the artist’s imagination.Motifs blend, deconstruct, and reassemble—sometimes the same, yet always new. To learn to look at them and recognize them, sometimes all it takes is to look up at a facade in the streets of our cities and villages… This event is presented by the Pays d’art et d’histoire Loire Touraine. Reservations required.
