|
S&H $5.00 |
In The Blacksmith (Der Kunstschmied); Otto Schmirler provides an account of work done by a master craftsman and his assistants. His purpose for this book; first published in 1977; was to re-awaken the interest in; and understanding for; the art of wrought ironwork. This book marks the beginning of Schmirler's guiding principle: to pass on what has been learned and proven; for the very essence of our craft is the handing down of experience from generation to generation. What Schmirler passes on in this book are over 750 of his drawings and photos of his work. The drawings show the master craftsman at the creative phase; and the photos document the final work of art.

S&H $5.00 |
Every door is at once a boundary; shutting off one area from another; and also a bond between the inside and the outside. Thoroughout the ages entrance doors to buildings have always had to be exceptionally robust. Batten construction conferred on them the necessary strength; but it also provided interesting scope for decoration. Signs and symbols already appeared centuries ago to furnish an indication of what lay behind the door. Ornamentation of doors in modern times is a special feature of church architecture. In the realm of the sacred; the door has a special roleas a threshold to the world beyond. In the secular field too however; the plain; flush door or the single metal-glass system are giving way to livelier and more original designs. Individually created doors are increasingly found beside the anonymous factory product. Now we are beginning to experiment with the structure and aesthetic appearance of interior doors in buildings as well. This book is filled with black and white and color photographs of door systems. Many styles and mediums are represented. Captions are in German and English.

S&H $5.00 |
From AABA Library book review: The subject Otto Schmirler chose for this book is ironwork for buildings; with emphasis on security and ornamentation. This book is for craftsmen who already possess the basic knowledge of forging iron. All of the drawings and photographs in this book were hand-picked by Schmirler from his archives. These true-to-scale drawings formed the basis of his work. "The drawings of pieces reproduced here are all original and sketched by me." His drawings were used to faithfully record the details he would wrought in the iron; to file away for commissions in the future; and to pass on what has been learned. His drawings and photographs include sculptures; garden gates; letter boxes; gates and doors; lanterns; grilles for doors and windows; furnishings; balustrades; garden furniture; fountains; decorations; and screens. Text also in English and French. Architectural ironwork; Ironwork Publisher Wasmuth. 1979. 296 pages |

| Eisenzeit /Iron Age: Der Kölner Kunstschmied Carl Wyland 1886-1972 /Carl Wyland; Craft Metalsmith From Cologne | |
|
S&H $5.00 |
Until recently; little was known about Carl Wyland; one of the leading ironsmiths of the 20th century in Germany. Although most of the literature on ironwork publlished during the 1950s and 1960s includes references to Carl Wyland; information is generally sparse; since the majority of publications were conceived as pattern books and do not offer much text. This study about Carl Wyland takes a novel approach in analyzing the work of one of the most prominent ironsmiths of this time by placing it in its historical context. The majority of the book consists of black & white and color photographs of his architectural work. Text and captions are in both German and English.

| Edgar Brandt | |
|
S&H $5.00 |
Edgar Brandt: Master of Art Deco Ironwork is the first book to document the life and work of the premier metalsmith of the twentieth century. A member of a group of extraordinary artist-craftsmen that included Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann; Jean Puiforcat; and Jean Dunand; among others; Edgar Brandt (1880-1960) was a leading force during a period of great achievement in French decorative arts and design; creating an entirely new aesthetic for the medium of wrought iron. Joan Kahr; the leading authority on Brandt; draws on extensive interviews with Brandt's family and former colleagues as well as period accounts culled from the art and design press of the day. She explores Brandt's multifaceted career as a talented artist; pioneering ironsmith; influential designer; and successful entrepreneur; detailing how he fused traditional hand forging with industrial methods and new technology - such as oxy-acetylene welding; power hammering; and die stamping - to make the incomparable objects in his repertoire.

| Medieval Decorative Ironwork In England (Research Reports; 59) | |
|
S&H $5.00 |
The author traces the development of the designs and techniques used in the production of iron-work in England from roughly 1050 to 1500. Found mostly on church doors; chests and tombs (in the form of hinges; handles; knockers or grilles) the ironwork of this period is a virtually unexplored aspect of medieval art; and has proved to be a rich source of evidence for design and craft skills. Extensively illustrated with more than 600 photographs and drawings; Medieval Decorative Ironwork in England presents; for the first time; a comprehensive national record of this little-studied artistic medium. Geddes' discussion of iron-working techniques and the designs' symbolism will be of interest to students of medieval history; architecture and the history of art; while the catalogue provides a rich resource for archivists and church enthusiasts. Architects; conservators; designers and craftsmen will find the illustrations and technical analysis of great practical use; as well as providing a valuable source for design ideas.

| Stuart Hill: Metal Works | |
|
S&H $5.00 |
Black and white photo plates from cover to cover with both German and English captions. From the author's introduction: "It's clear that this is a metal designer whose methods have very little in common with those of a traditional blacksmith; although all the processes are derived from techniques discovered in the forge. Hill uses streamlined; economical processes such as welding; squeezing; and pressing. Even the simplest objects produced in this way are true to the aesthetic of modern design. One of Hill's specialisms is his continuous efforts to develop ever simpler ways of joining components. His design details are not just technically convincing; they are inspired." "The aim of this book is to familiarise readers with Stuart Hill's signature style. It describes innovative manufacturing methods and introduces a new approach to viewing and appreciating metalwork."

| Forged Architectural Metalwork | |
|
S&H $5.00 |
A handsomely illustrated guide to forged architectural ironwork and the craft of the artist blacksmith. At one time; almost every town and village had a blacksmith. There are fewer smiths today; but despite the public perception that blacksmithing belongs to a bygone era; the craft is thriving. Architectural ironwork demands a wide spectrum of skills; from making a finely detailed drawing to forging heavy; red-hot metal bars. A good gate; grille; or balustrade looks so self-evidently right in its setting that its origin seems almost beyond question; but a blacksmith had to measure; design; forge; assemble; finish; and fit it in place. Written by a leading artist blacksmith; and illustrated with nearly 250 photos and drawings; Forged Architectural Metalwork looks at design; construction; finishing; and installation; as well as the skills required of smithworkers in the architectural field today. Chapters: 1 - Working and Workshop 2 - Basic Forging Processes 3 - Assembly Technique 4 - Surveying the Site 5 - Design and Regulations 6 - Handrails 7 - Balustrades 8 - Railings and Fences 9 - Screens and Grilles 10 - Gates 11 - Materials and Finishes 12 - Installation Architectural ironwork; Ironwork Publisher Crowood Press. 2006. 176 pages |
