Topping off #InternationalChameleonDay with this collection of pâte de verre glass chameleons by Amalric Walter (French, 1870-1959) & Henri Bergé (French, 1870-1937), all c.1920:

1. paperweight H8.5cm

2. tray (vide-poche) H8.5 x L15 x P11.2 cm

3. tray (vide-poche) L25.5cm

4. pendant 60x60mm

"This French pate-de-verre (glass paste) pendant is a rare survivor of 'artistic' jewellery of the 1920s. It was made by Amalric Walter to designs of his friend Henri Berge at their glass studio in Nancy, Lorraine, which produced decorative glass objects for discerning clients between 1919 and 1935. Walter and Berge excelled at using the complex technique of pate-de-verre casting, which they perfected while working at the Daum glassworks before the first World War. They pressed layers of coloured glass granules into wax moulds before firing them the kiln. The technique offered endless colour combinations and Walter experimented with the chemicals used to colour the glass, even using uranium to achieve the bright yellow seen in this pendant. Their products varied in price and complexity and while they were often replicated in series, each piece was hand finished and unique with subtle design and surface variations. A distinctive characteristic was the use of naturalistic motifs which were becoming simpler as the modern Art Deco style began replacing Art Nouveau in the 1920s. Issued alongside chameleon paperweights and bowls, this pendant is an example of this stylistic transition. When sold new, it was probably suspended on long silk cords to complement fashionable Jazz-era dresses. Some of these pendants however, might have never been worn as they were also admired as art pieces and displayed in the home."

Çağdaş Cam Sanatı & Fırın Teknikleri ve Uygulamalar

Çağdaş Cam Sanatı & Fırın Teknikleri ve Uygulamalar Bu kitap, literatürde çok ihtiyaç duyulan fırında biçimlendirme teknikleri ve bunu uygulamaya koyan sanatçılar hakkında evrensel bir araştırmadır. Kitap uluslararası alanda 50 cam sanatçısının eserlerini, bu eserlerin yapım tekniklerini ve sanatçıların görüşlerini ortaya koyarak, çağdaş cam sanatına genel bir bakışı anlatmaktadır. Kitapta aynı zamanda camın sanat dünyasındaki büyüleyici tarihi ve geçmişine bir yolculuk yapılmakta; bunun yanı sıra fırında biçimlendirme tekniklerinde üç boyutlu uygulamaları geliştiren en yenilikçi sanatçılardan biri olan Amalric Walter hakkında yeni bir araştırma sunulmaktadır. Okuyucu için bir bilgi hazinesi olan, son derece güzel bir şekilde resimlendirilen bu kitap hem aydınlatıcı hem de esin verici ilginç bir çalışma sunmaktadır. Bu kitabı yazma nedenim üçe ayrılmaktadır: fırında biçimlendirmeyi tanımlamak, yeni nesil yapımcıları bilgilendirmek, belki de etkilemek ve son olarak da fırında biçimlendirmenin temelini oluşturan konular hakkındaki tartışmalara katkıda bulunmak ve çıkan sonuçlara anlam vermektir. Çalışmalar, çağdaş uygulamaların çeşit ve niteliklerinin yansıtıldığı etkili örneklerdir. Ayrıca kullanılan yöntem ve teknik uzmanlık konularında ipuçları verirler. Bu kitapta, sanatçının vermiş olduğu görüntülere ve yapmış olduğu açıklamalara kişisel yorum ve önerilerim de eklenerek bir değerlendirme sunulmaya çalışılmıştır. Benzer seviyelerde fırında biçimlendirme yöntemlerini uygulayan sanatçılar kabaca gruplanarak bir araya getirilmiştir. Bunun sebebi de bu alandaki uygulamaların önemini vurgulamak, birbirini destekleyecek görüntü ve bilgilere olanak sağlamaktır. Grupları oluştururken bazen fırında biçimlendirme uygulamalarını başka malzemelerle birleştirerek genişletmeye çalışan, bazen de aynı eserde birden fazla fırında biçimlendirme yöntemi kullanan sanatçılar bir araya getirilmiştir. Birçok malzemeyle ve farklı kültürel ortamlarda çalışırken ortaya çıkan sorunlarla karşılaşıldığında, camın yaratıcı ve ileriye dönük bir şekilde gelişen olanaklar sunabileceğini hep savunmuşumdur ve bu grupların oluşturduğu örnekler bu durumu izah etmektedir. Sanatçıların, bir yöntem ya da malzemenin sınırlarını zorlama arzuları, fırında biçimlendirilmiş camın günümüzde olduğu kadar geçmişte hiçbir zaman bu kadar çeşitli, yaygın ve canlı olmadığı gerçeğine rağmen, yaratıcı bir araç olarak bu arzunun sınırlarına henüz ulaşılamadığını göstermektedir.

TRH Productions will present Natalie Dormer and David Oakes in the West End premiere of David Ives’ hit Broadway play Venus in Fur this autumn for a strictly limited nine-week engagement at the Theatre Royal Haymarket. This critically-acclaimed two-hander will run from 6 October to 9 December with opening night for press on 17 October.

Tickets are on sale now from £15 www.trh.co.uk / 020 7930 8800

Enigmatic actress Vanda Jordan appears unannounced for an audition with director Thomas Novachek. She’s determined to land the leading role in his new production – despite seeming wrong for the part. Over one evening in downtown Manhattan, their charged meeting becomes a seductive dance to the end.

Directed by Patrick Marber, designed by Rob Howell with lighting by Hugh Vanstone and casting by Executive Producer Ilene Starger, Venus In Fur is an intoxicating dark comedy of desire, fantasy and the innate love of fur.

Natalie Dormer is to play Vanda Jordan. Dormer is known globally for film and television roles including Margaery Tyrell in HBO series Game of Thrones, Anne Boleyn in The Tudors for Showtime, Cressida in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2, Focus Features’ The Forest, Ron Howard’s Rush, and Ridley Scott’s The Counselor.  Upcoming, Dormer stars opposite Sean Penn and Mel Gibson in The Professor and the Mad Man, and the independent thriller In Darkness, which she also co-wrote. She is currently in production on FremantleMedia’s Picnic at Hanging Rock in Australia. Venus in Fur sees Dormer reunite with Patrick Marber, who wrote After Miss Julie (Young Vic) for which she received widespread critical acclaim in the title role. Her other stage credits include Sweet Nothings (also at the Young Vic) and .45 (Hampstead Theatre).

David Oakes is to play Thomas Novachek. Oakes is best known for portraying Juan Borgia in the Emmy Award-winning Showtime Original series The Borgias, for playing William Hamleigh in Emmy Award-winning mini-series The Pillars of the Earth, for BBC’s The White Queen in the role of George, Duke of Clarence and, most recently, on screen as Prince Ernest in ITV’s Victoria, for which he is currently filming the second series.
