pp 95. Has a couple of creases to cover/inside, but the papaer is hard to crease so not at all unsightly - in very good condition.'Modernisme in Spain, as a cultural and artistic movement spanning the late nineteenth and early ywentieth centuries, was entirely in tune with the aesthetic principles of the Modern Movement - Arts and Crafts and the Glasgow School in Great Britain, the Sezession in Austria, Art Noveau in France and Belgium, and the Chicago School in the United states -, whose common denominator was the ambition to consolidate a new concept of beauty by restoring man's creative presence. It materialised in all forms of artistic expression - architecture, the plastic and applied arts, literature and music - in accordance with a criterion of correspondence and exchange between all the arts. Spanish Modernisme was represented by the artists of Catelonia, above all in the fields of architecture and the plastic and applied arts. While the rest of Spain witnessed the collapse of the last symbols of its past granduer, and an entire generation and thinkers clamored for the urgent modernisation of the country, in Catalonia the need for renovation was directed toward the recovery of a specific language and culture, interpreted in terms of medieval and Mediterranian reverie while taking the European cultural quests of the time as its point of reference.provides an attractive panorama and correspondences between the principal figures of Catalan Modernisme.and those of the mOdern Movement in Europe.and america.'
