Podcast “Voice of Jewels”

Season 9: Art Deco, Towards a New World 

Jewelry often looks to the future… In the interwar period, a new wind blew through creation. Jewelry became imbued with modernity: radical forms, unprecedented materials, speed, lightness. New jewels then recounted the contemporary metamorphoses of beauty.

In this new season, “Voice of Jewels” immerses the listener in the heart of a creative explosion, encountering audacious women and secret stories, through the jewels of a style that marked its time.

Each episode highlights an emblematic piece: a headband bracelet with rose motifs by Van Cleef & Arpels, an architectural brooch by Raymond Templier, a bracelet housing a secret powder box designed for Josephine Baker, and a Chinese-inspired box created by the Lacloche brothers.

Books

To celebrate the centenary of the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, L’ÉCOLE’s librarians and bookseller offer a selection of various publications on Art Deco.
