This book covers, more than any other book I have seen, the evolution of Art Nouveau. The information is broken down into different countries and influences. Unfortunately, all of the photographs are printed in black and white, frequently with poor contrast. The photos are helpful for explaining the text, but it would have been nice if someone had paid a little more attention to how they were printed.Something important to know about this book that I didn't, is that this book was written in 1955 (in Norway). The text is incredibly thorough, but when the author starts comparing the work to the work of 'today', he is referring to the 1950s. We all know that the 50's dont look like design today. This is a person who had not yet experienced many future design movements such as post-modernism. Regardless, if you are interested in the history and development of Art Nouveau/Jugenstil, this book will certainly be helpful.
