Of all the art books I've read about Art Nouveau recently this one must be the least well oganized. On the surface it seems like it will be very accessible due to its highly categorized table of contents and index, but in reality reading it was nothing less than frustrating. As with many books of its era, the lack of technology meant that illustrated content had to be placed at the end of chapters rather than interspersed throughout, but this book chose to separate the captions further - causing readers not only to flip pages once, but twice! It does not help the book's case that the author writes as though his readers are well aware of all of the material beforehand, interspersing random facts and personal opinions while jumping from topic to topic with little transition. I'm going to keep this book in my collection for now because even though it lacks cohesion and accessibility it is a good source book for Art Nouveau design and contains good exxample of the art form throughout. Depending on how my collection evolves over the coming years though, this may be one of the books that gets discarded!… (meer)
