Documents from the House's archives show that flora and fauna have been a major source of inspiration at Cartier since the very beginning. \u003cbr\u003eThe representations are numerous, and the interpretations complement each other: figurative, as realistic as possible; stylized, between an outline or suggestion; and all the way to abstraction, with the disconcerting visual play. \u003cbr\u003eThe jeweler's imagination and virtuosity transform precious materials and stones into splendid ensembles. For this groundbreaking new collection, the artists who create the designs go even farther than the known natural universe to visit unexplored territories: in addition to the Houses's emblematic species, such as panthers and crocodiles, we discover original creations, inspired, for example, by succulents and peacocks, or even imaginary creatures like reinvented chimeras. \u003cbr\u003eIn this richly illustrated volume, the new Cartier High Jewelry collection is accompanied by text that highlights the privileged relationship that exists between contemporary art and nature. Artists, fascinated by the power and the mystery of the environment that surrounds us, move beyond traditional art arenas to confront the immensity of landscapes or to work directly with materials from nature. The natural world is a marvel that never ceases to inspire and seduce.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Flammarion-Pere Castor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782080204820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 10.30w x 1.40d","brand":"Fran\u0026#231;ois Chaille, H\u0026#233;l\u0026#232;ne Kelmachter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39329049673909,"sku":"9782080204820","price":97.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_6e28a63d-6d66-4f55-97ce-2b86de105abf.jpg?v=1614690163","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/surnaturel-cartier-high-jewelry-and-precious-objects-9782080204820","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
