Summary:

"Jugendstil, that is Germany's distinct engagement with the international Art Nouveau movement, is now firmly engrained in histories of modern art, architecture and design. Recent exhibitions and publications across the world explored Jugendstil's key protagonists and artistic centres to firmly anchor their activities within the trajectories of German modernism. Women, however, continue to be largely absent from these revisionist accounts. This book offers a new interpretation of this vibrant period, advocating women as an integral part of the emergence, dissemination and reception of Jugendstil and questioning the deeply gendered histories of this key period in modern art, architecture and design"-- Provided by publisher.
