Art Nouveau: 50 Works of Art You Should Know - Paperback

The heyday of the Art Nouveau style was relatively short, spanning the decades immediately before and after 1900. However it was a tremendously important period, not only for its radical shift away from the academic and romantic movements of the late 19th century, but also for its embrace of nature and natural forms. This authoritative, accessible, and beautifully illustrated book explores 50 of the movement's most important works, and shows how it impacted every artistic discipline, from architecture to graphic arts to painting to home décor. 128 pages.
