Étudier l’œuvre prolifique de Gio Ponti, c’est dévoiler la vision unificatrice claire qui sous-tend son univers créatif complexe. Son syncrétisme artistique prend une ampleur cristalline au gré de multiples facettes intuitives, par le prisme de la grandeur italienne et de la légèreté maîtrisée qui définissent son œuvre totémique. Mu par une capacité rare à passer du microcosme au macrocosme dans un même élan de beauté et de fluidité, Ponti abordait la conception d’une cuiller et d’une ville entière avec la même conviction. Architecte et designer, éditeur et poète, artiste et homme. Le particulier et l’universel. Les bijoux dont il orna le monde sont emblématiques de la renaissance que connut l’Italie au milieu du siècle dernier et des valeurs modernistes qu’il voulait mettre en pratique.Ce volume retrace l’évolution de l’œuvre de Ponti sur six décennies et présente plus de soixante projets reproduits en haute résolution, qui immergent le lecteur dans l’atmosphère des espaces investis, où chaque objet est éclairé par le contexte dans lequel Ponti l’a créé. Comme des fenêtres ouvertes sur une vie illusoire, documents inédits et images sur le vif établissent un dialogue entre ses chefs d’œuvres les plus illustres et ses créations moins connues. Réalisé en étroite collaboration avec le petit-fils de Ponti, Salvatore Licitra, fondateur des Archives Gio Ponti, ce volume contient des textes de Lisa Licitra Ponti ainsi qu’un long essai biographique de Stefano Casciani, offrant une perspective intime et authentique sur la vie et l’œuvre de l’architecte. Matérialisation de la philosophie de la modernité qui est au cœur du travail de Ponti, ce livre présente l’architecture comme un objet mis en scène, la trame «auto-éclairante» de son art de vivre humaniste et de sa créativité sans limites.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. To study Gio Ponti's prolific body of work is to appreciate the clear, unifying vision behind a complex creative universe. A synthesis of the arts, his creations unfold intuitively with the Italian grandeur and studied lightness that defined his iconic style. Ponti's rare ability to move seamlessly between scales allowed him to approach the design of a teaspoon with the same conviction as that of an entire city. He was as much an architect and designer as he was a publisher, poet, and man. A treasure in its own regard, his legacy endures as a landmark of Italy's mid-century Renaissance and the modernist ideals it sought to realize.Compact yet comprehensive, this volume traces the evolution of Ponti's oeuvre over six decades, presenting more than sixty projects reproduced in high resolution-each framed by the context in which it was conceived. Like windows onto his elusive life, unpublished materials and candid imagery reveal new dialogues between his celebrated masterpieces and lesser-known works. The book features writings by Lisa Licitra Ponti and an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani. Conceived in close collaboration with Ponti's grandson, Salvatore Licitra, founder of the Gio Ponti Archives, it offers an intimate and authentic perspective on the architect's life and work. Embodying Ponti's philosophy of modernity, the book presents architecture as a performing object-a self-illuminating stage for his humanistic art de vivre and boundless creativity. Experience the boundless vision of one of the greatest architects, designers, and art directors of the 20th century.
