Publisher's Synopsis
The first gold artifacts are from modern-day Bulgaria from around six thousand years ago. In that six thousand years, we have created immensely artistic representation in gold, and with gold. Fortuna Gold Art Book celebrates that. It, however, does not limit itself to the natural, but invites the crafted into the beauty. A jaguar is just as beautiful, and just as golden, as woven cloth, or as the sand dunes of the Emirates. Fortuna Gold Art Book pays homage to the metal which backed money for millennia, and still does in many cultures today. In fact, when we discuss ancient cultures we discuss quantities of gold. That is why Fortuna Gold Art Book is named after the Roman Goddess of fortune, and luck. It is said that she is named after Vortumna-she who revolves the year. In that vein, we see how the world revolves around gold. From goldsmithing with a delicate hammer to the shimmery gold silks, Fortuna decides all. We see gold as extravagancy, and luxury. Photographers have taken that lens to the fullest. Others, yet, have chosen to show us how gold is also familial-a child's first look at marigolds, a fashionable jacket, or even falling autumnal leaves can be just as much of a luxury. The art book holds these photographs in their fullest potential with no text to detract from the voice of the art. Yet, this potential is not wasted. Fully curated, balanced photographs, and well-thought contemporary approaches give this art book a place in any home that cares about the fortune of those who live there.
