Items related to Holland on Paper in the Age of Art Nouveau
From the 1890s through the turn of the century, there was a flourishing of imaginative art and craft throughout Europe that we now know as Art Nouveau. The Netherlands experienced an inventive variant of this art and design phenomenon, but until now it has been largely overshadowed by its counterparts in other countries, especially France. This richly illustrated book is the first in English to celebrate the Dutch contribution to Art Nouveau through a tour of more than one hundred works on paper posters, decorative calendars, illustrated books, as well as prints and drawings. These innovative works of graphic design reveal the progressive Dutch artists conscious reaction against the past, their inspiration in natural forms and exotic cultures, and their embrace of the principle that art should transform everyday life. It also shows how the New Art, Nieuwe Kunst in Dutch, coexisted and sometimes intertwined in the Netherlands with other artistic strands, including persistent realist trends, Symbolism and the emergence of Modernism. With an introduction and explanatory text about each work of art by Clifford S. Ackley, one of the worlds leading specialists of Dutch prints and drawings, Holland on Paper provides a fascinating and visually rewarding introduction to a rich and creative artistic era.

Review:
a visual compendium that is astonishing to the newcomer and affirming of the period's variety and depth to the initiated.... Completing this beautiful and useful addition to existing literature are a glossary of printmaking techniques, a short essay on Dutch printmaking and printmakers from the period, and an excellent bibliography.--Joan Greer "Art in Print "

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Um die Jahrhundertwende kam es zu einer Blüte des Kunsthandwerks, die man als Art Nouveau oder Jugendstil bezeichnet. Bis heute weitgehend überschattet durch die Beispiele aus Frankreich und Deutschland, entwickelte man in den Niederlanden eine ganz eigene Variante dieser Stilrichtung. Der üppig illustrierte Band stellt Plakate, Kalender, Buchillustrationen, Drucke und Zeichnungen des holländischen Art Nouveau vor. Diese innovativen Werke der grafischen Gestaltung veranschaulichen die bewusste Abwendung der Künstler von ihren Vorgängern. Als Anregung für diese Verschönerungen des Alltags dienten Naturformen und exotische Kulturen. Die »Nieuwe Kunst« stand zugleich im Austausch mit den parallelen Strömungen der Zeit: der beginnenden Moderne und dem Symbolismus. Jedes gezeigte Objekt wird von einem einführenden Text begleitet. Dieser Band liefert einen faszinierenden Überblick über eine künstlerisch ergiebige und bis heute weitgehend übersehene Ausprägung des Jugendstils.
