after the 1897 munich glass palace exhibition, when jugendstil — better known in english as "art nouveau" — was "born" in germany, the stuttgart publisher julius hoffmann, jr. had the brilliant idea of collating the most interesting illustrations from leading international specialist journals and publishing them in a magazine entitled
der moderne stil or "the modern style". he included reproductions of objects exhibited in paris salons by the la maison moderne and art nouveau bing galleries and by artists and makers.
it was an invaluable source of material on art nouveau objects, complete with the names of their designers and makers — most of them unknown to this day.
all the issues of der modern stil have been collected in a single book, divided into sections on metal, ceramics, glass, furniture and jewelry. this historic book has 2,000 black-and-white images of art nouveau pieces and is a must for admirers of that movement.
english and german. hardcover. 496 pages. 10.1"w x 14"l.
