An Art Nouveau Must!,
This review is from: Schmuck-Kunst im Jugendstil At Nouveau Jewellery (Hardcover)
If you pride your self on your Art Nouveau jewelry book collection, and don't own this book, you better order it right now. It includes Lalique, Fouquet, Gautrait, Gaillard, Vever, Wolfers, Masriera, and Cranach. Each of these artists has a small section written about them, some including their signature/stamp/trademarks (black and white pictures of the artisans), followed by a selection of beautiful (all color) glossy pictures. About 95 color pictures in all. In the back is a small biography on each artist, and the entire book is printed in both German and English. This book is wonderful for an overall report on the topic, but not highly detailed on any selected person. So if you want a lot of information on one particular craftsman, this may not be the best book for you to buy right now. After you get the individual artist's book, you definitely need to get this one. The only negative comment I have is one I have for many "art" books. There are a few (three-five) pieces that are blown up to be shown on both pages, and of course the book binding splits up the picture, causing a loss of quality. But I'm picky. I still give the book five stars!
