Art Nouveau: Art, Architecture and Design in Transformation

Autor Dr Charlotte Ashby
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 noi 2021
Art Nouveau presents a new overview of the international Art Nouveau movement. Art Nouveau represented the search for a new style for a new age, a sense that the conditions of modernity called for fundamentally new means of expression. Art Nouveau emerged in a world transformed by industrialisation, urbanisation and increasingly rapid means of transnational exchange, bringing about new ways of living, working and creating.This book is structured around key themes for understanding the contexts behind Art Nouveau, including new materials and technologies, colonialism and imperialism, the rise of the 'modern woman', the rise of the professional designer and the role of the patron-collector. It also explores the new ideas that inspired Art Nouveau: nature and the natural sciences, world arts and world religions, psychology and new visions for the modern self. Ashby explores the movement through 41 case studies of artists and designers, buildings, interiors, paintings, graphic arts, glass, ceramics and jewellery, drawn from a wide range of countries.

Recenzii

Ashby's book examines afresh the complex origins, conditions and manifestations of International Art Nouveau through a series of evocative case studies drawn from a range of national contexts and organised around a series of compelling themes. This complicates and challenges our understanding of this key period in modern art, architecture and design and opens up fascinating new insights into the ways in which diverse historical actors grabbled with a rapidly changing world in their search for "a modern style for a modern age"
Fresh and original in its approach, this study provides a comprehensive overview of Art Nouveau that considers the movement's origins in imperialism and networks of global trade alongside its links to the emerging discipline of psychoanalysis, the concept of the "New Woman", and new patterns of patronage in the arts. By casting formal innovation and experimentation as profoundly entangled with the social, political, and economic transformations of fin-de-siècle society, Art Nouveau promises to forever change the way that we understand this movement and its relevance to our own historical moment.
