Description
This is a journey through Cartier s history and its iconic jewelry. Above all, it is an account of its style and its distinctive language. This exhibition catalog considers Cartier s design as well as its craftmanship; it reflects a vision that is contemporary without losing sight of its rich and complex past. The pieces displayed here are jewelry and design. They are art, and they are a history that endures, evolves, and remains alive. This catalog is not a nostalgic journey through the past; rather, it seeks to highlight the way in which Cartier s heritage serves as an inspiration to new generations of designers across the world, and how those repertoires take on a new spirit upon being reinvented by a new generation responsible for continuing, developing, renewing, and keeping alive the fashion house s great legacy. Five thematic units The Early Days and the Birth of a Style, Universal Curiosity, Jeanne Toussaint s Taste, Wearing Beauty and Measuring Time, and Maria Felix and Icons of Elegance present close to 180 pieces from the Cartier Collection as well as institutional and private collections. In this way, the exhibition catalog allows us to understand the house s history, and the development of its unique language and style, its savoir faire, and the evolution thereof.
