This groundbreaking Paris exhibition from Cartier explores the influence of Islamic art.
DS+R has designed the striking geometrical scenography for ‘Cartier and Islamic Art: In Search of Modernity’ at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris
The Cartier exhibition, by focusing on the early 20th century, puts Louis and Jacques Cartier, two of the founder’s grandsons, at the centre of the story. For director of image, style and heritage at Cartier International, Pierre Rainero, the cultural events of the era make it a crucial part of Cartier’s history. ‘At the turn of the 20th century, Paris became an important commercial centre for Islamic artworks.
‘Louis Cartier amassed an eclectic private collection, as we know from the sales held after his death,’ says Rainero. ‘He was a curious and scholarly man of taste with wide-ranging interests recalling those of the Renaissance collector orof the 18th century.
‘The curators also identified a lexicon of Islamic shapes that inspired Cartier. In the second section of the exhibition, this lexicon is illustrated with a dialogue between Cartier creations and Islamic artworks from the Louvre and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs collections .
Digital animations on large screens in the nave add another dimension to the exhibition, showing visitors in 3D both the inspiration behind the pieces and the technical approach of the jewels. ‘These animations show the specific skills required to make a jewel, which is articulated and adapted to the movements of the wearer,’ adds Rainero. ‘Besides the inspiration which can be understood in 2D, the 3D animations remind us of the initial vocation of a jewel, which is to be worn.
