Art Nouveau designates a decorative and architectural style developed in the 1880's and 1890's in the West. Born in reaction to the Industrial Revolution and to the creative vacuum it left behind, Art Nouveau was at the heart of a "renaissance" in the decorative arts. The primary objective of the movement was the creation of a new aesthetic of nature through a return to the study of natural subjects. In order to achieve this, such artists as Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, Antoni Gaudí, Jan Toorop, and William Morris favoured innovation in technique and novelty of forms.After its triumph at the

Born in 1860 in a small Czech town, Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) was an artist on the forefront of Art Nouveau, the modernist movement that swept Paris in the 1910s, marking a return to the simplicity of natural forms, and changing the world of art and design forever. In fact, Art Nouveau was known to insiders as the "Mucha style" for the legions of imitators who adapted the master's celebrated tableaux. Today, his distinctive depictions of lithe young women in classical dress have become a pop cultural touchstone, inspiring album covers, comic books, and everything in between. Patrick Bade and

Horta and the Grammar of Art Nouveau offers an innovative in-depth analysis of the architectural approach of Victor Horta, the Belgian architect whose creations between 1893 and 1905 were seminal for the development of Art Nouveau architecture. This book, edited by Iwan Strauven (Professor Architectural History, ULB) and Benjamin Zurstrassen (Director of the Horta Museum in Brussels), assembles new research by national and international experts on the work of Victor Horta, offering new perspectives on Art Nouveau architecture. The first part of the book sheds a new light on the toolbox of Victor Horta. Focusing on the architectural sources of one specific work, the Tassel house, it gives an insight in where and how Victor Horta conceived of his designs. The second part discusses some fundamental themes of Victor Horta’s architecture, such as the rhetorical use of structure, the innovative use of materials and the use of light in the development of the dynamic plan. It also gives a detailed account of the place of Victor Horta in Sigfried Giedions historiography of the modern movement and more specifically in his seminal work Space Time Architecture. A third part of the publication explores the relation between Victor Horta’s invention of Art Nouveau and the colonial enterprise of King Leopold II. This chapter unveils recently rediscovered archival material on Victor Horta’s project for the Congo Free State pavilion at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris. Horta et la Grammaire de l’Art Nouveau propose un aperçu innovant de l’approche architecturale de Victor Horta (1861–1947), dont les créations entre 1893 et 1905 ont été déterminantes pour le développement de l’architecture Art Nouveau. Cet ouvrage présente l’oeuvre, le contexte et la boîte à outils du plus célèbre des architectes belges dans une perspective nouvelle, dégageant ce qui reste essentiel à l’Art Nouveau de Victor Horta, en dehors de son style et de son vocabulaire typiquement végétal. Des experts internationaux jettent un éclairage nouveau sur les sources architecturales d'Horta, la manière dont il a conçu ses projets et son usage novateur de la structure et de la lumière. Le livre évoque également la réception d’Horta dans l’historiographie du Mouvement moderne et la relation entre son œuvre et l’entreprise coloniale du Roi Léopold II. Cette publication est abondamment illustrée de cartes, plans, modèles en plâtre et matériel photographique exceptionnel et inédit, commandé par Victor Horta lui-même. Ces sources archivistiques sont complétées par une série de photographies, réalisées spécialement pour cet ouvrage par le photographe d’architecture Maxime Delvaux. Elles offrent une vue contemporaine des bâtiments d’Horta sous l’angle des différents thèmes abordés au fil des pages. Victor Horta en de grammatica van de art nouveau biedt een vernieuwende en grondige analyse van de architecturale aanpak van Victor Horta, de Belgische architect wiens creaties tussen 1893 en 1905 baanbrekend waren voor de architectuur van de art nouveau. In dit boek, onder redactie van Iwan Strauven (professor architectuurgeschiedenis, ULB) en Benjamin Zurstrassen (directeur van het Hortamuseum in Brussel), is nieuw onderzoek samengebracht van nationale en internationale experts in het werk van Victor Horta.
