Description:... Art Nouveau's evocative appeal is in many ways as fresh today as when it dominated the European art scene at the turn of the 20th century. In this work, photographer and architecture critic Junichi Shimomura explores his premise that some of the most striking forms of Art Nouveau were realized in residential architecture. Antonio Gaudi's Casa Battlo in Barcelona, Victor Horta's Maison Horta in Brussels, and Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Hill House in Helensburgh, Scotland, are the main subjects of his study.
