Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The man who inspired the Art Nouveau movement is profiled in filmmaker Françoise Levie's loving tribute to Siegfried Bing's endless contributions to the world of modern art. In addition to his tireless efforts in promoting such diverse artists as Toulouse-Lautrec and Munch, the owner of the Parisian Japanese import shop-turned-La Galeries d'Art Nouveau's rich artistic vision helped to inspire a whole new generation of artists to approach their work in a whole new light. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
