WOLF, NORBERT
This book offers a sumptuos tour of art nouveau, one of the most popular of all art epochs and one that has continued to exert an undiminished fascination to the present day.
Accessible text places the most important art centers, artists, and works within the larger political, social, and international contexts, allowing the reader to rediscover well-known elements suchasfloral ornament and art noveau architecture. Special consideration is also devoted to areas that have thus far received little attention, such as art nouveau`s innovative aestehetics of light.
Carefully selected works of art and stunning large-format illustrations from all fields make this book an important reference for everyone wanting to gain access to art nouveau in all its varied facets.
