Having yet another style? Not just my kingdom, but Heaven for a style! That is a cry of despair, that is the great paradise lost." ~ Hendrik Petrus Berlage, 1905. Unity of art and life was the declared aim of Art Nouveau in the run~up to modernity. On a basis of shared ideas and ideals, artists strived after a homogenous style that would find expression not in uniformity but in variety. Despite all the inconsistencies, a unified framework does show through the many variations. Art historian and Art Nouveau scholar Dr. Gabriele Fahr~Becker pursues this yearning for an all~pervasive style in its impact on architecture, interior design, furniture, gold and silversmiths' works, art ceramics and glass, graphics and painting. She guides the reader through various national schools in Scotland, England, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Russia, Scandinavia, Germany, Austria and the United States. The literary and philosophical backgrounds and cultu ral or national influences in the theories and writings of artists and contemporaries are also explained. Famous artists such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Edvard Munch, Josef Hoffmann, Antoni Gaudí i Cornet, René Lalique and Louis Comfort Tiffany and also those less well~known are presented in detail. The countless threads of Art Nouveau are thus interwoven to form a complex and yet clearly distinguishable picture of an art movement on the threshold of the 20th century. Seller Inventory # 11292001
