Fully-illustrated catalogue charting the conception and formation of The Aesthetic Movement, an artistic phenomenon that grew out of a search for a new Beauty in the closing decades of the 19th century. A group of artists, with Rossetti, Morris and Burne-Jones at the helm pushed forward this movement, not only through art itself but also through their ways of living: artists' houses and lifestyles became sources of fascination for the public and helped considerably in elevating this period to 'cult' status. Text in English.
