This is a beautiful, informative, visual eye candy softcover for inspiring artists and art history enthusiasts. It details how Art Nouveau sprang up, its galleries, and artists worldwide developing this art movement. The colors,the curvilinear and organic line work, and often thick outlines reminiscent of stain glass on their displayed printed posters are awe-inspiring. It really compels me to try and create some art in similar styles to Mucha, Grasset, Berthon, Rhead, and more!
