"There is a destiny which shapes our ends... One fine day in 1933, twenty-five years ago, when no one in Italy gavea thought to the art of enamel, De Poli threw himself into it, the first to do so in Italy and for, a long time the onlyone. It was his vocation. If other enamellists have now arisen, and we can speak of an Italian art of enamel, it is thanks to De Poli, to the road he opened up and followed faithfully, to the example of his orthodox technique, to his sureness of touch, to the esteem and admiration that he has won. And we should be grateful to him for this also.These pages are a testimony to his work and to his mastery. It is no mere collection of of works but the mirror of asincere artist's life, of a vocation which has found its modern expression in a difficult, ancient and exquisite art,the art of enamel. These pages honour De Poli". Works of sculpture, furniture and tableware photographed in both colour and black and white. Condition: Very good. Slight tear to rear cover and age toning to the edges both front and back. Contents have age toning on page edges and front and rear facing pages show evidence of damp which appears to be from condensation as it doesn’t extend to the fly leaf area. Please refer to images.
