by Paul Greenhalgh

Description

Art Nouveau exploded onto the art and design scene in the early 1890s and spread rapidly throughout the Western world. This lush volume--created to accompany a major museum exhibition that opened at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, before moving to the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., in October 2000--is the most beautiful, complete, and wide-ranging study ever published on this enormously popular and influential style.

A brill book with loads of great information and photos, I will say that the book has been re-written and unfortunately big sections have been taken out and replaced with others mainly on Victor Horte, wish they hadn't think they've spoilt the book for this reason I am only giving it 4 stars(would have given it 5)
Beautiful museum catalog of the fabulous Art Nouveau exhibit at London's Victoria & Albert museum.
