Art Nouveau: Posters, Illustration & Fine Art from the Glamorous Fin de Siècle - Hardcover
by Michael Robinson (Author), Rosalind Ormiston (Author)
Art Nouveau is still popular today, notable for the sinewy, organic stylings which adorn the new edition of this long term bestseller.
The rise of the Art Nouveau style across Continental Europe and the US in all forms of art was remarkable and is explored in this beautifully illustrated book. Discussing the movement first as a whole, then from the angle of the graphic arts and finally as manifested in the fine arts, it focuses on the style in two dimensions. From the work of well-known figures such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Gaudí and Tiffany to beautiful posters and illustrations advertising everything from coffee to costumes, and even including an exploration of the links to Synthetism and Symbolism among other movements, the book is a treat from start to finish.Rosalind Ormiston is a researcher, lecturer and author in art,
