‘Formes et couleurs’ is a compendium of pictures from decorative arts books belonging to the oldest collections of the Institut supérieur des arts et du design de Toulouse. Featuring decorative patterns and motifs with unusual and striking shapes, forms, and colours, it criss-crosses a wide range of styles, cultures, and art historical moments, leaping from pure geometry to abstraction, from natural history drawings to Art Nouveau, and from Islamic to Japanese art. A thematic index includes categories such as textile, ornament, vegetation, and animals. This volume launches the “Formes” series, which explores this exceptional public heritage from a 21st-century perspective.
