Art Nouveau Sculpture

From the collection of MM Tremonto Paris.

Art Nouveau Sculpture by Alastair Duncan is an illustrated survey of the sculptural and decorative arts of the Art Nouveau movement, exploring the extraordinary craftsmanship and expressive forms that emerged at the turn of the twentieth century.

Focusing primarily on European sculpture from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Duncan documents the movement's fascination with nature, the human figure, and flowing, organic forms. The book features works by artists including Agathon Léonard, Maurice Bouval, Philippe Wolfers, and others, examining the intersection of sculpture and decorative design through bronze figures, ornamental objects, lighting, and architectural embellishments.

Richly illustrated with black-and-white and color photographs, Art Nouveau Sculpture captures a period when the boundaries between fine art and functional objects became increasingly fluid. An excellent visual reference for collectors and enthusiasts of Art Nouveau, decorative sculpture, and European design history.
