The first chapter is a fairly brief but instructive overview of what Art Nouveau was all about and a summary of its most famous practitioners. All the rest of the chapters are essentially photographs of examples of the style, with informative commentary (not just name, artist, and current museum of residence, but a brief discussion of the qualities of the particular piece.) These subsequent chapters are titled Themes in Art Nouveau, Architecture, Furniture, Ceramics, Glass, Fine Metalwork, Jewelery, Painting and Sculpture, and Graphics and Book Design.
