Aprašymas

Featuring around fifty landmark works across the fields of painting, architecture, furniture, glass, jewelry, posters, and design, this compact volume reveals how Art Nouveau reshaped the modern world.

Emerging at the turn of the twentieth century, Art Nouveau sought to erase the boundaries between art and everyday life, bringing beauty, craftsmanship, and inspiration from the natural world into everything from grand public buildings to household objects. This accessible survey opens with an introduction to the movement's origins, defining ideas, and lasting influence. It then presents nearly fifty masterworks in generous reproductions accompanied by illuminating commentary. The iconic works show how a distinctive visual language transformed architecture, painting, illustration, furniture, fashion, lighting, and the decorative arts. Beautifully produced in a portable format, this affordable volume delivers an outstanding introduction to one of the most influential movements in the history of art.
