Book

8 editions published between 1995 and 2018 in English and held by 303 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The collection of photographs, drawings and text brought together in this monograph represents the most significant contribution to studies on Victor Horta in recent years. David Dernie and Alastair Carew-Cox present much new material and a fresh insight into the work of this most influential architect of late nineteenth-century Europe. Their intention has not been to provide an encyclopaedic coverage of Horta's work, but to illuminate the themes, conflicts and inspirations which lie behind his most important buildings. In a series of essays David Dernie examines Horta's training and formative years in Paris and Brussels: the influence of Viollet-le-Duc, Alphonse Balat, and most importantly the new avant-garde movements and the dominant Symbolist aesthetic in Belgian art and literature which were powerfully synthesised in the annual exhibitions of Les XX. Having thus provided a basis of the interpretation of Horta's oeuvre, the richly illustrated second section of the book presents the key buildings of his Art Nouveau period, from 1889 to 1923, including the Hotels Tassel and Van Eetvelde, and the Maison and Atelier Horta. The book has the full support of the Musee Horta in Brussels and almost all of the images are unpublished elsewhere, making this collection an invaluable source

L'architecture du XXe siècle fut marquée par l'empreinte du célèbre architecte belge Victor Horta. La maison qu'il a construite pour Emile Tassel à Bruxelles est souvent considérée comme la première habitation art nouveau. Il ouvrit ainsi la voie à une nouvelle architecture définie, entre autres, par une rénovation irrépressible. A travers cet ouvrage, richement illustré, Michèle Goslar nous livre une image unique de Victor Horta perçu à travers ses constructions et sa vie privée et met ainsi en lumière le caractère peu connu de l'architecte. La publication présentera de façon chronologique la vie et l'oeuvre de ce génie de l'architecture que fut Victor Horta. Huit cent illustrations viendront enrichir le texte

Victor Horta & Frison House Brussels by
Nupur Tron(
Book
)
1 edition published in 2019 in English and held by 16 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"In the middle of the Lebeaustraat in Brussels, sandwiched between neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic houses, stands an Art Nouveau jewel designed by Victor Horta: the Frison House. It was commissioned by Maurice Frison, a lawyer and friend of the architect, and was built in 1894-1895. Horta designed not only the house, but also all its furniture and decoration, right down to the smallest detail: from door handles to marble fireplaces, from mosaic floors to elegant banisters, from wall lamps to the gratings for the cellar openings. The absolute eyecatcher is the winter garden, whose elegant design allows soft yellow light to flow subtly into its perfectly proportioned space. Nupur Tron is the author of this book and owner of the house. In recent years, she has breathed new life back into Horta's masterpiece. She pieced together bits of the old chandeliers she found in one of the cellars. She had items of furniture designed by Horta lovingly restored. With great passion, she continues to search for the funds that will allow her to restore the entire house to its former glory, one step at a time. Horta and the Frison House in Brussels is an ode to the architect and his creation. Nupur Tron is from India. She studied Design, Marketing & Merchandising and Fine Arts at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She designs jewellery, in which the different styles of east and west meet in harmony." --
