Item Number: 120602 Title: SALVATORE FERRAGAMO : Inspiration and Vision Author: Ricci, Stefania ; Sergio Risaliti (eds) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788857211336 Description: Milano: Skira, 2012. 31cm., pbk., 168pp., 200 color illus. Italian-English text. Exhibition held at Museo Ferragamo, Florence. Summary: Salvatore Ferragamo was a shoemaker, proud of being one and defined himself as such. Growing up in the workshop, he cultivated the craft and that connection between mind and hand which underlies many masterpieces of art. This beautifully illustrated catalogue describes Salvatore Ferragamo’s craft trying to identify the sources of his creativity and his innate ability to assimilate the spirit of the times. Through almost 100 models for footwear the book takes into consideration two periods in his life where conditions encouraged inspiration and visions to flourish and which influenced the artist’s later life: his move to California around 1915 and his return to Florence in 1927.
