In a 100 color and 80 black and white illustrations, and with commentary by an array of contemporary Mollino scholars, it examines his famously elegant furniture designs, a selection of his most iconic buildings, his wonderfully futuristic aeroplane and automobile designs and a portfolio of his photographic portraits of women. It reveals a man almost impossible to grasp in his entirety, with a ravenous intellect and a temperament both friendly and proud, whose work requires the attentions of several scholars&#8211;among them Lisa Ponti, Carmen Guererro and Fulvio Ferrari&#8211;to assess here. Yet Mollino&#8217;s approach was itself often synthetic; his interiors (which were almost always commissioned) integrated his furniture, interior design and architecture towards a unified aesthetic environment, expressing a coherent aesthetic of elegance and energetic sinuousness. Arabesques makes sense of this rare instance of a true Renaissance man, and will sweep the reader up in Mollino&#8217;s infectious energy and polymorphous genius. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sexy furniture, cars, architecture and naked women. http:\/\/www.bing.com\/images\/search?q=Carlo+Mollino&#038;qpvt=Carlo+Mollino&#038;FORM=Z7FD An oak and glass table made by Italian designer Carlo Mollino in 1949 sold Thursday for $3.8 million \u2013 double the previous auction record for a piece of 20th-century furniture, Christie\u2019s auction &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squidskate.com\/artbobo\/2010\/carlo-mollino-may-6-1905-august-27-1973-was-an-italian-architect-and-designer\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art","category-design"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.squidskate.com\/artbobo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.squidskate.com\/artbobo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.squidskate.com\/artbobo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.squidskate.com\/artbobo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.squidskate.com\/artbobo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.squidskate.com\/artbobo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":420,"href":"https:\/\/www.squidskate.com\/artbobo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81\/revisions\/420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.squidskate.com\/artbobo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.squidskate.com\/artbobo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.squidskate.com\/artbobo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
