Books like Art nouveau by Alastair Duncan


Alastair Duncan, a noted specialist on Art Nouveau, charts the movement’s meteoric rise beginning in the mid‑1890s as artists and designers challenged the prevailing traditionalism and revivalism of the era. The book describes how the "new art" flourished across architecture, furniture, glass, ceramics, and other applied arts before fading after World War One. Duncan then recounts its revival in the 1960s, detailing the contributions of leading figures such as Galle, Lalique, and Tiffany and placing their work within the broader cultural and artistic context of the period.

Art Nouveau by 7456684|Jean Lahor book cover

📘 Art Nouveau
 by Jean Lahor

Art Nouveau designates a decorative and architectural style developed in the 1880s and 1890s in the West. Born in reaction to the industrial revolution and to the creative vacuum left behind in its wake, Art Nouveau was at the heart of a "renaissance" in the decorative arts. The primary objective of the movement was the creation of a new aesthetic of Nature through a return to the study of natural subjects. In order to achieve this, such artists as Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, Antoni Gaudi, Jan Toorop, and William Morris favoured innovation in technique and novelty of forms.
