L'Affiche Art Nouveau
by Alain Weill, published by Editions Hazan, Paris (FR) (October 2015); 384 pages, 27 x 32 cm, 470 color illustrations; hardcover; in french; ISBN 978-2754107716; EUR 55 (about US$ 59).
Cet ouvrage offre un panorama inédit de l’affiche dans le monde entier, des années 1880 à la guerre de 1914, à l’heure où la rue devient un musée de peinture. La reconnaissance de l’affiche fut l’un des combats de l’Art Nouveau, ce mouvement européen qui proclame la sortie de l’historicisme en matière de décoration, et tente d’abolir la hiérarchie traditionnelle entre arts mineurs et arts majeurs. Une iconographie exceptionnelle de près de 470 affiches. Un texte vivant et accessible. Une réflexion sur la place de l’image dans la société de l’information et de la consommation modernes. Par l’auteur de L’Encyclopédie de l’affiche, livre de référence incontournable. 2015.11.20
