Meaning “The New Art” in French, it is an
international art movement/style of decoration as well as architecture. The
term first appeared in the 1880s that was used to describe the work of LesVingt
which was a group of twenty painters and sculptors trying to find new
inspiration.
Mainly inspired by organic and geometric forms especially the curves and basic aspects of leaves and flowers as well as the veins of them and are then given the flowing form of vines and whiplash curves. Other aspects are of deep see organisms.
Art nouveau was started from Romanticism,
symbolism and the Arts&crafts movement as well as Ideas from William Morris.
Art Nouveau reached its peak in popularity
around 1900 but then got overtaken by the popularity of art deco in the 1920s and
other styles yet found a revival in the 1960s.
Some artists used the natural world as a
primary source of inspiration due to wanting to break away from styles of the
past.
Examples of these are “The Grammar of Ornament[1856] by Owen Jones and Floriated Ornament[1849] by Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin.
Other artists like Gustav Klimt, Aubrey
Beardsley and Antonio Gaudi were familiar with this art movement.
Art Nouveau aimed at modernizing design
that preferred function over form, trying to escape the historical styles. Even
though it was a short-lived movement, its influence has been reaching across
different movements and is noticed in styles like art deco furniture. The designs
of these furniture show clear designs inspired by Art nouveau with the “exotic
wood veneers and ornamental inlays”
Extra: Abit of Art Nouveau inspired image of modern times
dat ironman.
The style is rather creative and to me seems like alot of work but worth it. It sort of reminds me of greek art. The flow of the vine like structures are done in a way that shows detail yet doesnt make the viewer lose focus on the main subject
