Around 1929, Walter Benjamin planned an article on 'Jugendstil', which he considered more than merely an artistic movement.
To Benjamin, 'Jugendstil'’s preference for vegetal motifs is symptomatic of the bourgeois refusal to come to terms with modernity which, in the end, prepared the ground for the catastrophes of the 20th century.
