Product Description
In Paris between 1909 and 1948, the salons in the Grand Palais near the Champs-Olys es were installed with extraordinary decorative interiors to accommodate automobile and other trade fairs. The splendor of these temporary sets was a direct expression of a gloriously progressive Paris married with the work of the French architect Andr Granet (1881-1974). In 1948, Granet's work was documented in a large-format book, which has long been out of print and is now available again here as a stunning facsimile reprint. D cors Oph mAres contains photographs of Granet's installations and lighting designs, as well as his illuminations for the Eiffel tower and the banks of the Seine. It is completed by outlines and sketches of his daring designs.

2 out of 5 stars Black & White Photography   April 22, 2006
Please be aware that the book contains only black and white photos, NO COLOR photos or diagrams. As I was expecting to see color photos/diagrams, I was disappointed and thus downgraded the book to two stars. But some B/W photo enthusiasts may like the book, esp. for the historical context.
