Art Nouveau







Influenced by Post-Impressionism, Art Nouveau, the “New Art” is an artistic style freed from all illusionist, symbolic or representational function. A decorative arts movement begun in part as a revolt against the Machine Age, it reached its height at the 1900 Paris Exhibition. Art Nouveau's beautiful organic design is so closely interrelated to the object that it seems to determine the form. The style effects architecture, interior design, the graphic and the ornamental arts, thereby making a strong presence in modern society. The Art Nouveau spirit was also identified as the: Arts and Crafts movement, Jugendstil, Style Moderne, or Stile Liberty, depending on the geographic location.


This is an amazing movemt and its also very femine. the shapes are very powerful and are pleasing to the eye this is the kind of art moveement that will always inspire someone to make new Art. The tiffany lamp is the perefect reprentation of the Art Nouveau movement you can also see that it will always inspire new craftsmanship as the shape are flowy and not harsh therefore many people will take more of a likeing to it compared to cubism.
