There’s no mistaking a Piero Fornasetti design object from afar. They are always bold and graphic and have a surrealist quality to them. 13,000 works were made by this Milanese artist between 1940 and 1980.
Recently, during Paris Fashion Week, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs within the Louvre put on a retrospective that drew many familiar faces. Fornasetti’s work is fun, creative and whimsical… it’s everything fashion and art often isn’t. Fornasetti began his career as an artist and drew much inspiration from books. With the thought that no object should be left alone, decorating and adorning soon overtook his works.
You have another month, until June 14th, to view “Piero Fornasetti—The Practical Madness” in Paris. For more information, please click onto Les Arts Decoratifs
