Book Description
The painter, designer, and architect Henry van de Velde (1863–1957) played a crucial role in expanding modernist aesthetics beyond Paris and beyond painting. Opposing growing nationalism around 1900, he sought to make painting the basis of an aesthetic that transcended boundaries between the arts and between nations through his work in Belgium, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Van de Velde’s designs for homes, museums, and theaters received international recognition. The artist, often associated with the Art Nouveau and Jugendstil, developed a style of abstraction that he taught in his School of Applied Arts in Weimar, the immediate precursor of and model for the Bauhaus. As a leading member of the German Werkbund, he helped shaped the fields of modern architecture and design. This long-awaited book, the first major work on van de Velde in English, firmly positions him as one of the twentieth century’s most influential artists and an essential voice within the modern movement.

Book Description
"Henry van de Velde (1863-1957) is a pivotal figure in design history: a bridge between nineteenth-century eclecticism and the emergence of a modern style. His range was prodigious: from furniture, domestic and shop interiors to ceramics, textiles, dresses, jewelery, silverware and books. He was also the architect of large private houses, theatres, museums and art galleries." --back cover of book

Book Description
"One of the most important figures in the design world of the early part of this century. Henry van de Velde (1863-1957) successfully spanned the disciplines of architecture, interior design, painting, furniture, ceramics and metalware, and even typography and clothing. His work continues to fascinate through its originality, intelligence and strength of concep. Initially inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement in England, van de Velde was a passionate advocate of the spread of good design to a wider public Sembach, who knew van de Velde personally, investigates the most important aspect of his work: his architecture, which - although perhaps less well known than van de Velde's other achievements - was the motivating force behind much of his oeuvre. This comprehensive survey includes more than 300 illustrations to demonstrate how van de Velde's principles of structural honesty, logic of design and importance of line were translated into reality."--from book jacket.

Book Description
These in-depth, historical, and critical essays study the meaning of ornament, the role it played in the formation of modernism, and its theoretical importance between the mid-nineteenth century and the late twentieth century in England and Germany. Ranging from Owen Jones to Ernst Gombrich through Gottfried Semper, Alois Riegl, August Schmarsow, Wilhelm Worringer, Adolf Loos, Henry van de Velde, and Hermann Muthesius, the contributors show how artistic theories are deeply related to the art practice of their own times, and how ornament is imbued with historical and social meaning.
