Descrição

This wonderful book with 424 full color pages and over 1000 illustrations is a dictionary that presents the French ceramic and the ceramist of the Art Nouveau period with schools as Atelier d'Auteuil and Vaugirard, Beauvais, Ecole de Carriès, Limoges, Ecole de Nancy, Paris, Sèvres and the Manufacture Nationale de Porcelaine, Ecole de Massier...

L'Art Nouveau, an artistic movement of a highly eclectic nature that developed in the late 19th century, took its lead from such diverse sources as Japanese art or the medieval revivalism of the Arts and Crafts. Perhaps in no medium was a better represented than in pottery, whose technical possibilities allowed for great freedom of expression.

This richly illustrated dictionary, with glossary and select signatures, lists over 1,100 artists, ceramists and firms that participated in the creation of Art Nouveau ceramics in France, the melting pot of the new aesthetic.
