During the reigns of Louis XV (1723-74) and Louis XVI (1774-92), fashion and furniture were not simply meant to be beautiful but were also intended to arouse, attract, and seduce. Published in response to the critically acclaimed and hugely popular exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum in the fall of 2004, Dangerous Liaisons focuses on fashion and its interplay with the paintings, furniture, and decorative arts of eighteenth-century France. Featuring beautiful color photographs of the exhibition's installation, details of the garments, and supplementary historical material, the book demonstrates how the extravagant clothing of the period reiterated the splendor of Rococo and Neoclassical interiors.

Dangerous Liaisons Fashion and Furniture in the Eighteenth Century
This book is so pretty!
I love the concept for the exhibition, I love the ideas they explore and how they explore them. I wish I could have seen it in person.
The catalogue itself is a little clunky. It's picture heavy, but if you want to know what the image is be prepared to flip to the back of the book, because none of them are captioned. The text also makes reference to all of these images, but again, be prepared to interrupt your reading to flip back and forth, because they rarely reference an image next to the text.
On the subject of the text, it is full of interesting ideas, but be prepared for run on sentences and the like. The author also switches back and forth within single paragraphs describing paintings and the staging of the exhibition rooms, so you might have to pay careful attention or risk confusion over what she's talking about.
So it's a very pretty catalogue. Not necessarily a functional one.
I like the pretty though.
