The prettiest era in artBy Anna SFrom Klimts paintings through to Rene Laliques jewelry and Tiffanys glassware I just adore Art Nouveau! Even all these years so many of these items are still just as adorable as when they were first created - and given the 15 minute fashion trends of today; this is a special thing.This book puts together some of the loveliest examples of Art Nouveau paintings; architecture and decorations that Ive seen; and its got some great information packed in as well (and so cheap!) This book is great - 5*.
