Art Nouveau (Book) by Gabriele Fahr-Becker, Annie Berthold, France Varry, Danièle Hirsch. Interior in very good condition, like new. Traces on the jacket including mini creases and rubbing. Hardcover. 2011. Publisher HF Ullmann. French language.

Realizing the unity of art and life, this was the declared objective of Art Nouveau, a prelude to modern art. It was from common ideas and ideals that the aspiration for a homogeneous style was born, which would find its expression not in uniformity, but in diversity: Despite their contradictions, the various variants reveal the concept. This “concern for style” which permeated all areas of life is the object of the quest pursued by Gabriele Fahr-Becker, art historian and specialist in Art Nouveau, in architecture, decoration, furniture design, goldsmithing, ceramics and glassware, graphics and painting. The innumerable facets of Art Nouveau merge to offer an image as complex as nuanced of this style that was born at the dawn of the 20th century.
