Place des Victoires, 2020
Des années 1890 jusqu'en 1910, un mouvement artistique se développe à travers toute l'Europe. En France comme en Belgique, on le nomme l'Art nouveau. En opposition à l'académisme, les artistes préconisent le retour aux méthodes de production artisanale et le mélange des arts nobles (peinture, sculpture) et mineurs (art décoratif). Ils sont également à la recherche d'une cohérence globale entre l’œuvre, son usage et le lieu de son exposition. Ils puisent leur inspiration dans la nature, reproduisant des lignes fluides et organiques et ont recours à de nouvelles technologies et matériaux développés par l'industrie. Vous explorerez dans cet ouvrage tous les domaines touchés par l'art nouveau : architecture, peinture, mobilier, graphisme et joaillerie. Vous y trouverez également une présentation des plus grandes figures de ce mouvement : Henry Van de Velde, Antoni Gaudi, Hector Guimard, Mucha…

Antique Collectors' Club, 2002
The catalogues of the Paris Salons at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century provide a unique archive of illustrations of the decorative arts at a pivotal time in their development, the five previous volumes covering Jewellery, Furniture, Ceramics and Glass, and Objets d'Art. The fabric designers of the Art Nouveau style who exhibited at the Paris Salons produced a remarkable oeuvre in printed and woven fabric, silk, lace, embroidery and tapestry. This volume is probably the most important in the series. Because of wear and tear, practically none of the approximate 1,200 textile and leatherware pieces illustrated have survived outside museum collections or appeared at auction, unlike the items covered by the earlier volumes.

Serge Fachereau
Thames & Hudson, 2022
In this highly illustrated volume, Serge Fauchereau presents the modern art scene of the Baltic countries, showing how artists from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia created their own art movement rooted in Baltic life. By the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Baltic artists and writers were starting to reclaim and promote their artistic heritage as radically distinct from that of the invading nations, with pioneers such as M. K. Ciurlionis and Vilhelms Purvitis demonstrating rare originality in their work.
Art of the Baltic States is organized into three main chapters, documenting the history of art in each country. Enriched with illustrations from important museum collections, Fauchereau covers key art movements as well as their rich and complex historical background, from time under the Czars and the German crown to the invasion by the Soviet Union and beyond.
