The human figure has long been a source of inspiration and a means of expression for jewelers, and it is perhaps the most intimate and involving of subjects.

In the nineteenth century, René Lalique, Alphonse Fouquet, and the Maison Vever produced brooches and necklaces that embodied elegant sophistication and technical brilliance, while in the twentieth century, artists such as Pablo Picasso and Alberto Giacometti joined jewelers like Jean Lurçat, Line Vautrin, and Claude Lalanne in creating works that interpret the body in deeply personal ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecially photographed by Jean-Marie del Moral, \u003ci\u003eFigures\u003c\/i\u003e is packed with striking and witty works of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick Mauriès\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and publisher of many notable titles on fashion and design, including \u003ci\u003eGoude: The Chanel Sketchbooks\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFornasetti: Designer of Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe World According to Karl\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eÉvelyne Possémé\u003c\/b\u003e is chief curator at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in the Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and antique and modern jewelry department.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46553799229601,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780500021811","price":32.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780500021811.jpg?v=1781743469","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/figures-hardcover-by-patrick-mauries","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
