new art

    0.06 sec.

new art

Vague term used to describe recent trends in art if a more precise label does not apply. It was, for example, used as the title of an exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London, in 1972. Formerly it was used as a translation of art nouveau, but the French term for this movement has now been completely absorbed into English.

If the Bell Company had sold its stock at the highest price reached, in 1880, it would have received less than nine million dollars--a huge sum, but not too much to pay for the invention of the telephone and the building up of a new art and a new industry.

To supply the large demand for copies he investigated and mastered the new art by which they might be so wonderfully multiplied and about 1475, at fifty years of age, set up a press at Bruges in the modern Belgium, where he issued his 'Recueil,' which was thus the first English book ever put into print.
