by Renate Ulmer (Editor)

A comprehensive survey of two particularly French aesthetic currents. In-depth documentation of the exchange between craftsmanship and industrial art production, between tradition and the Moderns, are documented in depth. Toward the end of the 19th century, two related currents emerged in the fine and the applied and decorative arts: Symbolism and Art Nouveau. About 500 works of art from international collections illustrate this fascinating chapter of European art.
