| A
graphically rich chinoiserie patter, Chinese Pavilion is infused
with the charm and wit admirers of Fischer’s work have come to
expect. “What is unique about Chuck is that he brings a fanciful
feel to a traditional concept,” says Corine Sacco, head of Schumacher’s
Wallcoverings Division. The exotic design features a fantastical pavilion
in a balmy landscape of palm trees and sailing vessels. Whimsical details
appear: figures in Oriental garb, delectable tropical fruit, and filmy
theatrical drapery. Not to mention acrobatic monkeys, who perform handsprings
dressed in troubadour costumes, their feet shod in ballet slippers. Chinese
Pavilion reflects Fischer’s familiarity with the great tradition
of European painted decoration. In this case, it is a thorough knowledge
of the work of Francois Boucher and Jean-Baptiste Pillement, two of the
eighteenth-century French artists who forged the idiom of European chinoiserie. F.Schumacher & Company | Available as wallcovering and fabric |
