Art Nouveau and ‘Nieuwe Kunst’: books and book collections in the Netherlands1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 June 2016
Abstract
‘Nieuwe Kunst’ is the Dutch variant of what is known as Art Nouveau or Jugendstil in other parts of Europe. As far as book art is concerned, the highlight of this style was between 1892 and 1903. When interest in Art Nouveau began to flourish again in the 1960s, private individuals and libraries in the Netherlands started to collect Nieuwe Kunst books; these collections reflect a varied production, in form as well as in content.
