Art Nouveau Masterpieces of Art

Art Nouveau Masterpieces of Art by Dr Julian Beecroft explores the captivating world of Art Nouveau, a movement that combined a desire for the complete reflection of art through craft and design with the flowing lines of nature and Japonisme. This art style remains hugely popular today, featuring the ever-present work of artists like Mucha, Klimt, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Mackintosh.

Founded in the 1880s as a response to the art world's elitist obsession with painted and sculptural arts, 'New Art' quickly garnered enthusiastic support. The movement remains a testament to the seamless blend of craft, design, and the natural world.
