Examines the life and art of Madeleine Casting. Explores in-depth the elements of her style, and examines how she crafted interiors so emotive that visitors felt that they had stepped into a Balzac novel or a Proustian recollection. Her entire life and career are chronicled, from her early years in Montparnasse, the epicenter of artistic activity in Paris, to her incomparable country house Lves and her legendary shop on rue Jacob in Paris. Contents: In search of lost time -- Lèves -- Act two: Madeleine the merchant -- Le style Malmaison -- A universe "Cocteau Castaing" -- Of Maisons miroirs. Includes bibliographical references (page 269) and index. A very nice copy.
