LaunchPad: Boulle Marquetry
Рет қаралды 116,356
11 жыл бұрынThis video was created for LaunchPad, a program of digital interpretive materials that supplement the viewing of works of art on display in the Art Institute of Chicago's galleries.
Contemporary marquetry artist Patrick Edwards employs traditional tools and techniques to create works worthy of great artists of the past such as André-Charles Boulle. Boulle employed two kinds of marquetry-première-partie, in which the tortoiseshell serves as the background with inlaid brass, and contre-partie, with tortoiseshell inlaid on a brass ground-and sometimes made complementary pairs of furniture pieces, utilizing each technique.
In this video, Patrick Edwards perfectly reproduces the corner of a coffer by André-Charles Boulle in the Art Institute collection.

The old techniques were so laborious. I was one of the last marquetry makers in the UK before laser cutters came in. This video makes it look very difficult but really its very simple. All it takes is practice.

This marquetry is in 2 colors, brass and shell. For this demonstration we used horn as shell is a controled substance. The pack is build with a backerboard (3mm soft wood) a layer of brass and a layer of horn and a front board (1.5 - 3mm soft wood). There is also grease paper for lubrification of the balde made with newpaper and tallow. The thickness of the material needs to be consistent. It this demonstration the brass and the horn were 1.5mm thick.

That glue is the smell of my childhood. My father was a cabinetmaker and used to warm it up on the kitchen stove. The whole house smelt of it. I could smell it again as I watched the video.

I used to get this stuff in the worst shape. We used resins to make what fixes we could, but brass that bends... stretches :/

What are the materials he layers at the start? Is it just the brass, and different veneers? Or a few other things? Thanks.
