Download or read book Borders Frames Decorations of the Art Nouveau Period written by Carol Belanger Grafton and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 1984-01-01 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art Nouveau swept turn-of-the-century Europe and America with its graceful, flowing lines and sensuous female figures. Today the style enjoys renewed popularity among artists and craftspeople drawn to its timeless beauty. A noted artist and designer has assembled a sparkling collection of elements culled from an 18-year run of Jugend, a German periodical which became a major Art Nouveau showcase. Here are more than 500 frames, borders, vignettes, head- and tail-pieces, and spot illustrations — all royalty-free — by Otto Eckmann, Hans Christiansen, Bernhard Pankok, and many other leading practitioners of the Art Nouveau style. You'll find elegant floral patterns and borders, horses, lions, peacocks, intertwined snakes, etc. Here men and women dance, smoke, drive automobiles, drink toasts to one another, and more. You will be delighted by graceful nudes, precious nymphs astride dolphins, voluptuous can-can girls high-kicking in a repeating border pattern, and much more. Elements are conveniently categorized according to dominant motif — people, plants, animals, abstracts/geometrics. Their myriad design uses — greeting cards, advertisements, menus, to name a few — make them invaluable to artists, illustrators, advertisers, and craftspeople in many disciplines.

Download or read book Art Nouveau written by Gabriel P. Weisberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998. Design reform in the fields of architecture and the decorative or applied arts became objectified through writings published during the period of 1885 to 1910. This investigation includes, but is not limited to, Art Nouveau in France and Belgium, and the arts and crafts movement in England and the United States. Even though the similar processes of creativity and shared goals of Art Nouveau and the arts and crafts movement have long been recognized, attempts to explore their origins and their points of interrelation with the broader scope of art history have been largely unsuccessful—until now.
