The Style of the 1890s
Francesco Abbate, General Editor
Translated by Elizabeth Evans
Art Nouveau has nearly as many names as there are European languages to
describe it. During the 1890s Art Nouveau was a way of life. Being a
general, continental style rather than a local school, Art Nouveau worked
according to its interpreters' moods. This authoritative guide contains 92
color illustrations that show brilliant examples of Art Nouveau's precursors
and the style itself as it was applied in painting, architecture, sculpture,
stained glass, ceramics and small-scale domestic objects.

pages, 5 ˝" x 7 5/8", brown leather or leather-like cover with gold
lettering, dust jacket, illustrated.
