«Modernismo» is the illustrated essay on art and architecture by Klaus-Jürgen Sembach, published by Taschen in hardback (240 pages, in Spanish).
The book studies art nouveau or modernism as a reformist turn-of-the-century movement, analysing its attempt to reconcile the technical era with the pursuit of beauty and luxury. It covers the centres of Brussels, Nancy, Barcelona, Glasgow, Helsinki, Chicago, Munich, Darmstadt, Weimar and Vienna, and examines the work of architects and designers such as Victor Horta, Antoni Gaudí and Charles Rennie Mackintosh in architecture, furniture design and craftsmanship.
The Spanish edition was originally published in 2007; this reprint is from 2013. The author was director of the Museum of Industrial Culture in Nuremberg.
Intended for readers interested in the history of art, architecture and design of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
