中文简介：

新艺术风格在今天仍然很受欢迎，以强健、有机的风格着称，装饰了这本长期畅销书的新版本。

新艺术风格是19世纪末20世纪初在欧洲和美国产生并发展的一次影响面相当大的“装饰艺术”的运动，本书着重从两个维度对此进行了探讨。首先从整体上讨论，然后从图形艺术的角度讨论，最后从美术的角度讨论。从图卢兹·劳特累克、高迪和蒂芙尼等知名人士的作品，到从咖啡到服装的精美海报和插图广告，甚至包括对合成主义和象征主义与其他运动之间联系的探索，这本书从始至终都是一种享受。

Art Nouveau is still popular today, notable for the sinewy, organic stylings which adorn the new edition of this long term bestseller.

The rise of the Art Nouveau style across Continental Europe and the US in all forms of art was remarkable and is explored in this beautifully illustrated book. Discussing the movement first as a whole, then from the angle of the graphic arts and finally as manifested in the fine arts, it focuses on the style in two dimensions. From the work of well-known figures such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Gaudí and Tiffany to beautiful posters and illustrations advertising everything from coffee to costumes, and even including an exploration of the links to Synthetism and Symbolism among other movements, the book is a treat from start to finish.
