Art Nouveau  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As much as we are supposed to choose an event from the survey timeline, I broke the rules a little bit on this post. I love art nouveau and I really wanted to write about it. Art nouveau is a\u00a0fascinating\u00a0movement that I have frequently found myself inspired by when doing my own work.\u00a0It has beautiful organic shapes, neutral\u00a0colours,\u00a0and amazing depth despite its flat\u00a0colours. It also inspired much of the art in the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s and served as a foundation for\u00a0psychedelic\u00a0art.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design was a big part of Art Nouveau, a key element to many of its iconic imagery and posters was\u00a0incorporating text into\u00a0illustrations\u00a0or thoughtfully framing illustrations with text and\u00a0embellishments.\u00a0A lot of the most\u00a0recognized pieces of art from the movement were\u00a0advertisements\u00a0and poster designs. I would say the foundation of current day poster design began with art nouveau. The artists took care with visual hierarchy and\u00a0made meticulously detailed illustrations with plenty of embellishments.\u00a0Alphonse Mucha is an iconic artist from this time period and probably who most people think of when they think of art nouveau.\u00a0He is said to have had a skill with printing that was unrivaled.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features of Art Nouveau design is organic shapes, whiplash curves, detailed illustration and\u00a0flat and neutral\u00a0colours.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architecture  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art Nouveau architecture is\u00a0facinating\u00a0and beautiful, using those same organic shapes and natural curves but this time in staircases and buildings.\u00a0Architects\u00a0like Hector\u00a0Guimard\u00a0ran with this style and designed beautiful\u00a0pieces of ironwork for subway stations and buildings. The craftsmanship of ironwork and furniture is where the core of art nouveau really comes into play. The movement came from the arts and crafts movement. The ideology of that\u00a0movement came from a rejection of\u00a0industrialism and a value for\u00a0well-made\u00a0products with thoughtful design.\u00a0\u00a0These products being well made and beautiful is a big reason we still see these antiques around today. They didn\u2019t break down as easily as many of the\u00a0mass produced\u00a0products of that era.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
