This sumptuous volume explores key aspects of Art
Nouveau--decorative arts, architecture, fashion, dance, advertising, and
more--with an in-depth approach and stunning illustrations. The Art Nouveau
movement became an international phenomenon at the beginning of the twentieth
century that ushered in the era of modernity in almost every aspect of cultural
life. For decades critics have argued that Art Nouveau was not an artistic
period in its own right, but an amalgam of artists and styles that served as a
bridge between neoclassicism and modernism. In this comprehensive,
authoritative, and copiously illustrated book, art historian Norbert Wolf
explores Art Nouveau as a logical outgrowth of the historic forces in which it
arose. This book focuses on the movement's wide variety of applications and
reclaims its prominence in the pantheon of modern art history. Chapters on
aesthetics, spirituality, and the cult of beauty offer luminous examples of
works by Mucha, Gaudi, Hoffman, Klimt, Horta, Munch, and Tiffany, among many
others. Wolf's text is both informed and accessible, providing an exciting
narrative that brings the Art Nouveau movement into clear focus. Beautifully
produced to appeal to a wide range of readers, this new volume gives one of the
world's most popular styles the serious consideration it deserves.
