"This is the first book to examine Art Nouveau tiles from all over Europe as well as the United States."--BOOK JACKET. "The book traces the roots of Art Nouveau to the British Arts and Crafts movement, which produced tile work by such artists as William Morris, William De Morgan and Christopher Dresser. Following this, the wide variety of Art Nouveau tiles across northern and Central Europe are surveyed in detail: in Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Austria, the Czech Republic and Hungary. Separate chapters are also devoted to Spain and Portugal, and the United States. To conclude their survey, the authors look at how elements of Art Nouveau were absorbed into Art Deco after World War I and how Art Nouveau styles of tile-making have been revived in the 1980s and 1990s. A final chapter gives useful advice to the collector of Art Nouveau tiles, suggesting ways of organizing, restoring and preserving them."--BOOK JACKET.
