Book Review: Renzo Mongiardino: A Painterly Vision
THE INTERIORS AND ARCHITECTURE OF RENZO MONGIARDINO: A Painterly Vision by Martina Mondadori Sartogo and the Editors of Cabana, Rizzoli New York, 2017
Renzo Mongiardino is a design legend, celebrated for his rooms which were filled with the theatricality of glorious trompe-l'oeil finishes, the finest of the finest antiques, and the most luxurious of designer fabrics. Opulence could have very well been Renzo's middle name. His rooms created a mood, by whatever means necessary. Though his rooms were wrought with priceless antiques and rare fabrics, the predominant element of his designs were his ingenious trompe-l'oeil finishes. Rooms of intricate mosaics were often nothing more than paint, walls of a marble parlor actually only marble-patterned paper. He had a slew of wealthy clients, Lee Radziwill, Gianna Versace, Randolph and Veronica Hearst, and The Rothschild Family to name a few. He had the imagination of an artist, and a formal Italian education in architecture and set design, the best of pairings in what became a brilliant career.
In this new book, A Painterly Vision, published by Rizzoli, pages and pages of beauty created at the hands of Mongiardino are beyond inspiring. They are provocative and exciting, sure to infuse the creativity in all of us with an exhilarating spark. Take a look:
