About this book
Clearly structured by country, it traces the emergence of Art Nouveau, highlighting the particular interpretations of the style in each region. Countries covered include Belgium, Spain, Britain, Austria, Hungary, Finland, Latvia, and Russia. Each chapter contains sections on political and cultural contexts, specific visual characteristics and key artists and designers. Howard analyses the work of well-known figures such as Gaudi, Van de Velde, Mackintosh, and Mucha, and brings to light many others whose contributions have until now been largely inaccessible. With a full bibliography, glossary, and museum and gallery listing, the book provides a complete and fascinating introduction to this significant and ever-popular subject.
