Description

"Born at a time of rapid change, Art Nouveau flourished at the turn of the last century. While new media such as film and photography provided new ways of seeing the world, the moral landscape of Europe and America was beginning to shift, and artists and designers used the erotic to push the boundaries of established convention. The risque and often shockingly explicit content of many Art Nouveau works is one of the most striking and disturbing features of the style.". "Divided into thematic sections, Art Nouveau and the Erotic draws on a wide range of paintings, sculpture, furniture, ceramics, jewellery and metalwork, from the V&A's collections and elsewhere, to bring an often hidden history to light."--BOOK JACKET.
