Summary

Piero Fornasetti used illusions, architectural perspectives and a host of personal leitmotifs, such as the sun, playing cards, fish and flowers to create a style that was his own. This book documents Fornasetti's life and art, and Ettore Sottsass provides a personal tribute.

Fornasetti by Patrick Mauriès

Fornasetti applied his decorative vocabulary to an astonishing array of objects--hats, vests, pipes, ashtrays, chairs, plates, cabinets, pianos, ocean liners--and transformed them by the application of unexpected images Today his work seems more contemporary and is more popular than ever. Designers and collectors celebrate his use of allusion, unsettling images, and striking juxtaposition to create unique, whimsical objects. Fornasetti's masterpieces continue to shock, delight, and inspire.
