Description
Art Nouveau Architecture by Anne Anderson explores the unique style that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Characterised by lavish sculpture, metalwork, or tile facades, Art Nouveau buildings are instantly recognisable. This style rejected traditional architectural forms in favour of a new vocabulary shaped by modern materials and innovative technologies. The book delves into the rationale behind Art Nouveau's creation, covering its various names such as French Art Nouveau, German Jugendstil, Viennese Secession, Catalan Modernisme, Italian Liberty, and Portuguese Arte Nova. It also examines the key architects and designers associated with the style, including Victor Horta, Hector Guimard, Antoni Gaudi, Otto Wagner, Odon Lechner, and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Beautifully illustrated, this book showcases stunning photographs of Art Nouveau buildings in Brussels, Paris, Nancy, Darmstadt, Vienna, Budapest, Barcelona, Milan, Turin, and Aveiro. Additionally, it covers the decorative arts, stained glass, tiles, and metalwork that make these buildings so distinctive.
