Description
Daniel Cottier: Designer, Decorator, Dealer A biography of an innovative designer and art entrepreneur who played a significant role in popularising Aestheticism in 19th-century Britain. This book tells the story of Daniel Cottier's rise from humble beginnings as an apprentice coach painter to the founder of a successful fine and decorative arts business with branches across Europe and beyond. Cottier was a pioneer of the Aesthetic movement, which sought to bring beauty into everyday life through design and decoration. He understood the cultural shift towards a focus on family, home, and church, and seized the opportunities it presented for his business. This book offers a fascinating insight into Cottier's life and work, as well as the broader cultural context in which he operated. Published by the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, this book provides a unique perspective on an important event in late 19th-century cultural history - the intersection of Aestheticism and bourgeois culture.
