The Exposition Internationale des Arts DĂŠcoratifs et Industriels Modernes, held in Paris in 1925, had such impact that its name was applied to the modernist movement in decorative artsâArt Deco. With pavilions devoted to dĂŠpartements of France, colonies and foreign countries, the fair attracted 16 million visitors.
One of the most impressive aspects of the exhibition was the profusion and extraordinarily high quality of the ironwork displayed. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, European wrought iron had attained an artistic inventiveness that had lapsed in modern times. In the exhibition, wrought iron, especially the work of Edgar Brandt (amply illustrated on these pages), awakened in craftsmen, particularly in the United States, a new appreciation of this versatile, durable material. It enjoyed a widespread popularity through the building boom that lasted until about 1930, combining utility and beauty in public and private structures.
The illustrations reproduced here are taken from two portfolios: La Ferronnerie, consisting of 58 loose plates (1-58 in the present edition), with an introduction by Henri Martinie, published by Editions Albert Levy, Paris, 1926; and La Ferronnerie: Deuxième SÊrie, consisting of 48 loose plates (59-106 in the present edition), with an introduction by A.-H. Martinie (the same person), also published by Levy, 1929. The first volume is devoted to the work shown at the exposition; the second to works the locations of which are, for the main part, unidentified.
