Art Nouveau Paperback / softback
by Jeremy Howard
Paperback / softback
Description
This critical survey of the Art Nouveau movement reveals the diversity of this style across the breadth of the European continent.
With the inclusion of Eastern Europe and the full range of artistic media, the book shows how this movement changed the face of European art and design from Paris to Prague.
Clearly structured by country, it traces the emergence of Art Nouveau, highlighting the particular interpretations of the style in each country.
Countries covered include: Belgium; Spain; Britain; Austria; Hungary; and Russia.
Each chapter contains sections on political and cultural contexts, specific visual characteristics and key artists and designers.
It analyzes the contribution of both well-known artists and designers such as Gaudi; Van de Velde; Mackintosh; and Mucha, and brings to light many others whose contributions have been largely inaccessible.
With a bibliography and glossary, this text should provide a useful introduction to this subject.
