Illustrated with color photographs of beautiful jewelry and objets d'art, this critical biography shows how Lalique was one of the first multimedia artists, how he played a major role in the movements of both Art Nouveau and Art Deco, and how he left a living legacy in the form of the company that still bears his name and is controlled by his family. "Be an art critic in five minutes," enthused the New York Times over this series of beautiful little art monographs, and though you'll certainly want to spend more than five minutes exploring the volume, we take their point that it will indeed give you a knowledgeable appreciation for the artist's work. A mere six by six inches in size, the book is nonetheless packed with intriguing tidbits of information and insight into the life and works of the artist, and illustrated with dozens of color plates that make the book as rewarding to flip through as to read.  Abrams,Harry N Inc 0-8109-5836-8 / 9780810958364
