Jessica M. Dandona

Nature and the Nation in Fin-de-Siècle France (eBook, ePUB)

The Art of Emile Gallé and the Ecole de Nancy

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book represents the first book-length, critical study of the art of Emile Gallé. It thus promises not only to revolutionize our understanding of his work but also to reframe the study of Art Nouveau by relocating the movement within the deeply politicized context in which it was created.
