Book Synopsis Treasures of Art Nouveau by : Michel Draguet
Download or read book Treasures of Art Nouveau written by Michel Draguet and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extremely rich Belgian collection of Art Nouveau articles is behind the adventure leading to the conceiving of this book. Michel Draguet, in eight reference-filled chapters, guides the reader through the period between the end of the last century and the beginning of the present one, the herald of deep changes inspiring an art which, stemming from the symbolist and decadent instances, unfolds like a page of literature. The articles of applied arts figuring in the book have the flavor of the poetry of Baudelaire and Mallarme, recall the microcosm of Proustian interiors and take us back to an atmosphere steeped in the contributions of several arts, from dance to painting and sculpture, wherein the search for new techniques clearly does not play merely a minor role. Between literature and industry, a portent of the new century striding in, "Treasures of Art Nouveau" gives us back the savor of a world fully aware of the winds of change. Michel Draguet, Doctor in Philosophy and Literature and Agrege in Philosophy and Literature. Professor at the Universite libre of Brussels and qualified researcher at the Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique. Expert in the history of turn-of-the-century painting. Curator of several exhibitions and author and co-author of books, among which: "Bruxelles fin de siecle" (Paris, Flammarion, 1994); "Khnopff ou l'ambigu poetique" (Paris, Flammarion, 1995 - The 1996 Arthur Merghelynck Award of the Royal Academy of Belgium); "Mendelson "(Brussels, 1995); "Chronologie de l'art du XXe siecle" (Paris, Flammarion, 1997) and "Rops Cabinet de dessins" (Paris, 1998). Editor of the writings on art by Baudelaire and Mallarme.

Book Synopsis Art Nouveau Jewelry by : Vivienne Becker
Download or read book Art Nouveau Jewelry written by Vivienne Becker and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 1998 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewelry was one of the purest and most successful expressions of the Art Nouveau movement. Fresh designs and motifs created intense excitement as organic forms surged with new life, and the female form struggled towards freedom, suggesting a long-hidden eroticism. The artists and goldsmiths who created this jewelry were trained in the nineteenth-century disciplines; their technical mastery allowed them to experiment with new materials and enameling processes to indulge their fantasies. This combination - an atmosphere of ideas for a new art and the unrivaled technical skill of the makers - produced some of the most evocative jewelry of modern times. The book deals with major makers in France, and follows the parallel modern movement that spread through Europe and the United States, acquiring different decorative characteristics, from Great Britain, Germany and Austria, to Belgium, Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. Comprehensive biographies of over 300 designers are included, as well as a Guide to Identification, with over 200 makers' marks and signatures.

Download or read book Art Nouveau written by Lara Vinca Masini and published by Book Sales. This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art Nouveau was a world-wide artistic fashion that deeply affected the whole spectrum of the arts in the last decade of the nineteenth century and the early years of this century. It sought to finalise the break with the academicism of traditional art, to raise the status of design and to place art within the realm of daily life. In doing so it provided many of the prototypes for the art of an industrial society, and it was the springboard for some of the most important artistic movements in the twentieth century, such as Expressionism, Futurism and the International Style in architecture. -- from dust jacket.
