I used this for a paper on the slip from art nouveau to modernism for a class recently; and this gave a pretty good set of aesthetic guidelines.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Catalin TatuAs new!9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. excellent reference materialBy Dawn W.This book covers; more than any other book I have seen; the evolution of Art Nouveau. The information is broken down into different countries and influences. Unfortunately; all of the photographs are printed in black and white; frequently with poor contrast. The photos are helpful for explaining the text; but it would have been nice if someone had paid a little more attention to how they were printed.Something important to know about this book that I didnt; is that this book was written in 1955 (in Norway). The text is incredibly thorough; but when the author starts comparing the work to the work of today; he is referring to the 1950s. We all know that the 50s dont look like design today. This is a person who had not yet experienced many future design movements such as post-modernism. Regardless; if you are interested in the history and development of Art Nouveau/Jugenstil; this book will certainly be helpful.
