This lavishly illustrated work highlights the brilliant career of Belgian architect Horta, originator of the Art Nouveau Movement. Among the buildings showcasing his innovative exterior and interior designs are the Hallet, Tassel, and Van Eetvelde houses, L'Innovation department store, museums, hospitals, and his ultimate triumph, the Maison du Peuple (Worker's Union Hall), all of which were a marriage of ideological and political factors. The chapters intertwine an informative text with floor plans, scale drawings, and exquisite illustrations of Horta's signature features, including the whiplash, the curve as optical correction, asymmetry, multiple axes, osmotic surfaces, whirling arrangement of space, and transparency. A chronology includes the current status of Horta's buildings. This notable volume is the first translated into English on the life of Horta. Recommended for libraries emphasizing architecture and the decorative arts.
