The curvilinear designs of Art Nouveau-popular at the turn of the century-were especially well-suited to the decorative arts. Characterized by long, leafy tendrils, full-blown florals and languid ladies, the style lent itself especially to the medium of stained glass. This handsome collection reproduces the colorful and imaginative stained glass designs of Arnold Lyongrun, a German-born artist of the day whose work was noted for inventiveness in form and color and a winning sense of humor.
Thirty-two full-color plates represent some of the most vivid examples of the artist`s work. Reproduced directly from an extremely rare original edition of Vorbilderfur Kunstverglasungen im Style der Neuzeit, 91 magnificent copyright-free motifs include lovely floral and foliate designs, graceful female figures in flowing robes, pastoral landscapes, seascapes dominated by billowing sails and humorous depictions of animals, and much more.
As a modestly priced sourcebook. of ideas, inspiration and patterns, Masterpieces of Art Nouveau Stained Glass Design will be a welcome addition to the working library of any craftsperson, artist or designer.
