| 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 |
