Art Nouveau Spirit of the Belle Epoque

Art Nouveau defines the elegant, decorative style that flourished from the early 1880s to the beginning of World War I. This international movement came at a symbolic moment in time--when the nineteenth century was giving birth to the modern world--and many of the artists whose work typified this sophisticated style became household names. Characterized by ornamental, sinuous lines, Art Nouveau was a highly original and graceful style based on the natural forms of flora and fauna as they encountered the elements. With 105 full-color illustrations, this book is a stunning visual celebration of the art and artists of Art Nouveau and is a must for all art lovers.Sternau, Susan A. is the author of 'Art Nouveau Spirit of the Belle Epoque' with ISBN 9781597640763 and ISBN 159764076X.
