Throughout history, fans have had numerous roles: personal items to
cool the user, tools for religious and ceremonial events, symbols
of royal power and authority or important fashion accessories. As
practical, symbolic and decorative objects, they are the meeting
point of multiple arts. This book focuses on European fans made in
the French Rococo style in the 18th century and the Rococo Revival
style that emerged in the 19th century. Sixty-six superb examples,
selected from the Eurus Collection in South Korea, offer a glimpse
into the lives of European royalty and aristocracy, including their
aesthetic preferences, ideals and views on nature, and demonstrate
the intermingling of cultures in the newly emerging painting and
craft styles which resulted from trade between Europe and the East.
This beautifully illustrated book explores the fans' thematic and
stylistic aspects as well as their assembly and production and
invites the reader to discover their untold stories.
In China, a fan has traditionally been both a practical object and
an artistic work that expresses the owner’s learning or
personality. The high-end craftsmanship of Chinese fans,
encompassing poetry, calligraphy and painting, has long captivated
the West. This sumptuous book, newly translated from the original
Korean, showcases 71 examples dating from between the late 18th and
20th centuries. It follows on from the popular volume on European
Fans, and the fine objects featured in Chinese Fans are again drawn
from the renowned Eurus Collection in South Korea. Also in the
series: European Fans, ISBN 9781785514128
