Schmuck-Kunst im Jugendstil At Nouveau Jewellery

The unique jewelry creations of Art Nouveau, which blurred the boundaries between jewellery and sculpture, the applied and the fine arts, are impressively represented in this book by the work of their major exponents, first and foremost Rene Lalique. As an early exponent of Art Nouveau jewellery making, Rene Lalique was not only the leading Belle Epoch jewellery designer and maker, he was also one of the greatest European jewellers of all time; he united consummate mastery of his craft with the highest aesthetic standards in combining innovative motifs and shapes and rarely-used materials like horn or glass. The greatest French jewelers, among them Fouquet, Gaillard, Vever and Gautrait, were inspired by Lalique to create their own original designs.Falk, Fritz is the author of 'Schmuck-Kunst im Jugendstil At Nouveau Jewellery' with ISBN 9783925369841 and ISBN 3925369848.
