ART NOUVEAU DOCUMENTS<br />
Heinrich Pudor<br />
Modern Applied Art 1902–1908<br />
Press release<br />
A unique wealth of Art Nouveau objects -<br />
the Documents of Modern Decorative Art<br />
In 1902, the magazine Documents of Modern Decorative Art was presented<br />
for the first time. It was published until 1908, the contents of which were<br />
distributed over five series, sumptuously produced without fail and with numerous<br />
outstanding illustrations. The 'documents' remained widely unknown<br />
due to its small number of subscribers. It nevertheless deals with a unique<br />
wealth of Art Nouveau objects and presents not only the reputable designers<br />
and manufacturers, some of whom have never been discussed before now,<br />
but also the unknown creative sides of renowned artists.<br />
The editor and author was Heinrich Pudor (1865–1943), who today is merely<br />
remembered as a national and ‘völkisch’ publicist. However, his Documents<br />
of Modern Decorative Art are characterised through ideological neutrality,<br />
and his extensive publishing and business activities around the turn of the<br />
century ranged from nudism, vegetarianism and nutritional physiology<br />
through social and cultural policy and sexual science to the history of music<br />
as well as the theory of language history and antiquity.<br />
The new revised edition of the Documents of Modern Decorative Art is now<br />
here. The introduction (illustrated in colour) by the Art Nouveau and ceramic<br />
expert Horst Makus enables the reader to comprehend the special position of<br />
the work and its author within its historical context. Around 1,000 illustrations<br />
of over 1,500 individual German and international Art Nouveau pieces<br />
– furniture, metal, glass, ceramics, jewellery as well as textile art – are compiled<br />
in a new reprinted section. The index of around 500 entries, also extended<br />
with artists' biographies and company histories by Horst Makus, allows<br />
quick and easy access: now it's possible to search, find and identify!<br />
An indispensable standard reference work, particularly for all those interested<br />
in Art Nouveau, is once again available in the shape of this revised<br />
edition of Documents of Modern Decorative Art. The wide selection of illustrations<br />
and texts, which cover never-discussed-before designers and<br />
manufacturers, and the unknown creative sides of well-known artists alike,<br />
make this publication an essential source of reference for the applied arts<br />
from Art Nouveau and Jugendstil.<br />
