Masterpieces of Modernism

Modernism, Art Nouveau, Jugendstil, Secession — all of this is about him, the beautiful, original, mysterious, and sometimes openly sensual style that dominated the visual arts at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. This artistic phenomenon is associated with many of the most famous architects, painters, graphic artists, and applied artists, but perhaps the most vivid and significant names are those of Antonio Gaudí, Gustav Klimt, and Alphonse Mucha, as evidenced by the constant attention to their personas from the widest audience. This book is dedicated to these three authors, but it does not limit itself to their artistic legacy within the mentioned style; it allows tracing the gradual formation of each master, from their earliest works to mature pieces that demonstrate their interest in exploring new frontiers in the rapidly changing world of art at that time.
