Edgewear and minor loss to edges of wrapper, otherwise good condition."Art circa 1900, most often referred to in Poland as SECESSION, has in recent years become a fashionable, passionate subject for researchers. All over the world there is a renaissance of forms developed at the turn of the 20th century; formerly cursed as a testimony of bad taste, today they have entered many fields of artistic creation. The works included in this volume-written by a number of prominent scholars-are concerned with the genesis and significance of this intriguing, short-lived but hugely influential artistic phenomenon, which has determined the attitudes and works of artists ranging from urban planning to fine craftsmanship" (From the Publisher).
