The Guerlain walls, which I have seen in person and which are still in existence, were executed entirely in fabric appliqués by Margarita Classen-Smith, a well-known textile artist and restorer. The "painted" lines are actually grosgrain ribbons, et cetera, cut to look like brushstrokes and then hand-sewn by Classen-Smith to the yellow ground fabric. It's all fabric, no paint at all. An early issue of "Nest" magazine featured a large article about the restoration of this Frank-Bérard-Classen-Smith project.An Aesthete's Lamenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09620941811191294750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-50920441289541853882011-02-04T06:21:33.389-05:002011-02-04T06:21:33.389-05:00I have long been entranced by Berard's almost ...I have long been entranced by Berard's almost whimsical take on boiserie, and have even considered painting a version for own enjoyment. But embroidered on velvet? Somehow the fresh free spirit seems to be lost. But I will refrain from judgement until I might think of a use in an installation other than just a background. I am excited to see the introduction, however. Thanks, Jennifer!The Devoted Classicisthttp://tdclassicist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
