toad_maiden's review against another edition
4.0
An absolutely stunning volume that looks at art nouveau as a style and a movement from several different lenses. The first section examines the styles and subject matters that influenced art nouveau; the second takes a material lens and details the advances in various mediums (print, glass, metal, etc.) during this period, highlighting exemplary work along the way; and finally the last section looks at the forms this movement took in various nations throughout this period. For anyone interested in art nouveau, this volume is the place to start; the information is scholarly, but accessible, and the photographs are gorgeous.
