The merge of Cartier ‘s heritage and Islamic design is subject of study in the forthcoming exhibition at Dallas Museum of Art - ‘#Cartier and Islamic Art: In Search of Modernity” - Opening May 14, 2022✨
Commenting on this important exhibition that was initially presented at MAD Paris earlier this year, Francesca Cartier Brickell , author of ‘The Cartiers’ (2020) said to Moralmoda Magazine,
'The Persian style,’ my grandfather Jean-Jacques Cartier once explained to me, ‘was the purest influence on the Cartier style.’ As a child, he had missed his parents on their many trips to India and the Middle East, but those long voyages abroad had given his father, Jacques, the seeds of inspiration to create a new style of jewellery. Pencil drawings of their surroundings –temples, mosques, carvings, motifs – scribbled in his travel diaries would later be transformed into clocks, vanity cases and brooches, while suitcases filled with exotic objects–rugs, paintings, sculptures, fabrics – would inspire teams of designers back home."

Estelle Arielle BOUCHET highlights the importance of the exhibition staged in France: the French Ministry of Culture has worked closely with the Louvre Abu Dhabi to build a cultural bridge between our civilisations. Museum visitors are invited on a "grand tour" of France's cities to learn about their socio-cultural heritage, paying tribute to multiculturalism, tolerance and peace, see also full article in our Royal issue January 2022.
