Periodicals of the Art Nouveau Movement
Rapid, international spread of the Art Nouveau style was undoubtedly fueled by two forms of mass communication media: the poster, and periodicals. While I’m very interested in the poster and its importance to Art Nouveau, the periodicals also sparked my interest. Following is additional information to the readings, which I found after researching The Studio, Jugend, and Ver Sacrum. My research also led me to investigate graphic design art journals available today.
The Studio
· Journal of the British Art Nouveau movement
· First published in April 1893 under the title The Studio: An Illustrated Magazine of Fine and Applied Art
o Most successful fine art periodical in the English-speaking world
