Czech Secession

Más información sobre el libro

The book delves into the vibrant Czech art scene of the late 19th century, highlighting Prague's role as a cultural hub alongside Berlin and Vienna. It examines the Czech Secessionist movement through three main stylistic schools: naturalistic-impressionistic, symbolist, and ornamental-decorative. These styles, while distinct, interact to enrich the understanding of the era's art, challenging conventional views of Art Nouveau. With over three hundred color plates, it celebrates the innovative spirit and artistic achievements of this often-overlooked period in Czech history.
