Trade Review
“[An] excellent critical study”—Anne Ceresole, Journal of the Decorative Arts Society

“The fascinating story...posits a new interpretation of the artist and architect, one that weaves together the complexities of his work with the social, historical and artistic context in which it emerged.”—Claire Moran, Journal of Design History

“Katherine Kuenzli offers an original portrait of van de Velde—his personality, ideals, and work—through exemplary research and superb illustrations.”—Harry Mallgrave, Illinois Institute of Technology

“Kuenzli fills a major gap ambitiously and successfully, and she convincingly shows how existing narratives need to be revised as a result.”— Frederic J. Schwartz, University College London
