Description

Henry van de Velde: Selected Essays, 1889-1914 by Henry van de Velde This collection brings together twenty-six essays by one of the most influential designers and theorists of the twentieth century. Belgian artist and theorist Henry van de Velde (1863-1957) was a key figure in European art movements from the 1890s, including Art Nouveau and Jugendstil. The selection includes van de Velde's writings on William Morris and the English Arts and Crafts movement, Neo-Impressionist painting, and relationships between ornament, line, and abstraction in German aesthetics. Katherine M. Kuenzli provides expert guidance to readers, exploring how van de Velde's essays reconcile themes of aesthetics and function, expression and reason. With introductory discussions and full annotations, this volume offers valuable insights into the artistic debates of France, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands during van de Velde's most productive period as a theorist.
