 | | Art Nouveau, the innovative style that flourished during the two decades at the turn of the 20th century, transformed European and American art forms and has come to symbolise the era known as the fin de siècle. |
 | | Paul Greenhalgh's exquisite Art Nouveau 1890-1914, accompanying a glittering retrospective at London's Victoria & Albert Museum, examines the labyrinthine coils of this decadent epoch and culture and all its manifestations--architecture, painting, textiles, jewellery, sculpture, poster design--placing each firmly in the context of a variety of vibrant urban centres which include Helsinki, Munich, Moscow, and Glasgow. |
 | | Art Nouveau grew--in profusion--out of the late Victorian period, a social, cultural and political time of transition, which has been summed up as an era of "spiritual anxiety". |
