[ART NOUVEAU]. NOCQ (Henry). New Trends. A Study of the Evolution of the Art Industries. First edition of this study on modern art, accompanied by a signed autograph letter from the author to Edmond de Goncourt, as well as a signed autograph note from the latter to the author. Paris, H. Floury, 1896. In-8 (145x200 mm), paperback, anthracite cover illustrated in black. 203 pages, numerous black headbands. Cover worn, slight browning of the margins. First edition, published in the Belgian periodical L'Art Moderne, of this survey on new trends in art written by Henri Nocq and with a preface by Gustave Geffroy. It is divided into two parts: the first transcribes the responses of major artists of the time (Bracquemond, Toulouse-Lautrec, Octave Uzane, and Roger Marx) to a questionnaire by the author; the second is an essay on new trends in art, in which the author advocates the search for a modern style. Beautiful Art Nouveau-style headbands decorate the header of each sub-section. This copy is enhanced by an autographed letter from the author to the writer Edmond de Goncourt, as well as an autographed note by Edmond de Goncourt pasted onto the half-title page, congratulating the author on the book’s concept and thanking him for his kind dedication. A delightful copy.
