[Phaidon 20th-Century Art] Phaidon Press, Oxford UK, 1979. Hardcover. Near Fine . "Art in Europe -particularly in Britain and France-underwent major developments at the turn of the 20th century. Inspired on the one hand by the Symbolist movement in literature and reacting against heavy-handed academicism in painting on the other, the related, intertwined and yet separate styles which emerged inspired painters as different as Mucha, Moreau, Klimt and Charles Rennie Macintosh."
