Despite the diverse field of art history today, a significant aspect has been largely overlooked: the art of interior decorating. This is surprising, considering the profound impact that the delicate aesthetic sensibilities, the sense of color, and the eye for composition required to adorn private spaces have on our daily lives, surpassing the influence of any work of art in any museum. This lavishly illustrated volume pays homage to one of the pioneering German masters of this craft: Peter Gustaf Dorén. Here, we encounter his remarkable work, characterized by its surprising plasticity and vitality. This is largely attributed to Dorén's versatility, as his aesthetics continue to set the (color)tone for the history of interior decoration. Thanks to the fantastic photographs and splendid color documentation produced by Dorén himself, this opulent book of photos offers a captivating journey into the world of interior decoration around 1900, while also providing a glimpse into the history of the readers' own four walls.
