Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. By the time of his death in 1904, critics, arts reformers, and government officials were near universal in their praise of Art Nouveau designer Emile Galle (18461904), whose works they described as the essence of French design. Many even went so far as to argue that the artists creations could reinvigorate Frances fading arts industries and help restore its economic prosperity by defining a modern style to represent the nation. For fin-de-siecle viewers, Galles works constituted powerful reflections on the idea of national belonging, modernity, and the role of the arts in political engagement. While existing scholarship has largely focused on the artists innovative technical processes, a close analysis of Galles works brings to light the surprisingly complex ways in which his fragile creations were imbricated in the political turmoil that characterized fin-de-siecle France. Examining Galles works inspired by Japanese art, his patriotically inflected designs for the Universal Exposition of 1889, his artistic manifesto in support of Dreyfus created in 1900, and finally, his late works that explore the concept of evolution, this book reveals how Galle returns again and again to the question of national identity as the central issue in his work. This book represents the first book-length, critical study of the art of Emile Galle. It thus promises not only to revolutionize our understanding of his work but also to reframe the study of Art Nouveau by relocating the movement within the deeply politicized context in which it was created.
