  1. Art Nouveau By: Renée Prisecaru

  2. Art nouveau - French for “new art” was an international art movement of style, decoration and architecture used during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

  3. One characterization of this movement was depictions of flowers and vines, also called foliate forms. Many of these forms were used in mosaics.

  4. These examples have been found all throughout Europe and America.

  5. In Barcelona, two men named Antoni Gaudi and Josep Jujol worked to produce beautiful ceramic mosaics at Guell Park. They used a technique known as trencadis in which tiles covered surfaces of buildings. They also incorporated broken dishes and other found objects such as broken china dolls, which was a revolutionary idea in art and architecture.

  6. This plate was placed in a mosaic by Jujol, that came from his own home.

  7. One famous Austrian artist during this period was Gustav Klimt. (1862-1918)

  8. He is known to be one of the most important exponents of art nouveau.

  9. Using sources such as classical Greek, Byzantine and Egyptian styles, his work is one of extreme elegance.

  10. Here you see lines and contours famous for the art nouveau movement.

  11. Klimt’s work was quite controversial because of his use of sexuality and eroticism.

  12. Use of silver and gold in his work may have been from a result of growing up around his father who was a gold and silver engraver.

  13. Many beautiful posters and ads were created by designers during the art nouveau period.

  14. One of these was an Italian poster designer from Paris named Leonetto Cappiello (the father of modern advertising), who had very innovative posters.

  15. He was the first poster artist to use bold figures popping out of black backgrounds, which was a startling contrast to earlier posters.

  16. Cappiello produced more than 530 advertising posters in his career.

  17. Jewelry was also influenced by the art nouveau movement.

  18. A major contributor to the art nouveau jewelry scene was a man named Louis Comfort Tiffany, who founded Tiffany & Co.

  19. Tiffany’s art jewelry department designed Jewelry that used romantic curves, pictured in the brooch above.

  20. The peacock image was popular in the art nouveau movement, and Tiffany and Co. used this in their designs, such as in this headdress to the right.

  21. Tiffany also started a new way of glassmaking that combined different colors of iridescent glass that made hues never seen before.

  22. Here is one of Tiffany’s famous glass lamps that show beautiful colors and free flowing design.

  23. Here you see a naturistic design with dragonflies, that was also a popular in art nouveau motif.

  24. Art Nouveau style can also be found in Russia.

  25. This painting was done by St.Petersburg artist Leon Bakst in 1910. Notice the curvature and flow in the design.

  26. A major Russian art nouveau architect was Alexei Bubyr. The building to the left shows the unique window design he created.

  27. This is one of Bubyr’s designs that was cut into a granite fence. He also used other images such as birds, stars and flowers.

  28. Art nouveau has been reborn, and still influences artist’s today.

  29. This recent work is by artist Chuck Bordell. Notice the imagery of human (female) form being portrayed.

  30. Art nouveau’s short lived movement was very influential, and will continue to inspire many future generations of artists and designers to come.
