Description

Art Nouveau Architecture by Frank Russell offers an accessible overview of the architectural movement that flourished around 1890–1914, highlighting its emphasis on organic forms, flowing lines, and richly decorative detail. Russell surveys key architects, buildings, and regional variations—from the sinuous façades of Belgium and France to the bold interpretations found in Central and Eastern Europe—showing how Art Nouveau sought to break from historical styles and create a new visual language for the modern age. The book places the movement within its cultural context and illustrates how its innovations in structure, ornament, and craftsmanship helped shape early modern architecture.
