Art Nouveau

Art Nouveau

The Art Nouveau was a new Art Style created back in the very end of the 19th century.It was a style that was inspired by art styles such as the Japanese art or the Egyptian art.This art style had started in Belgium and was a huge importance and hit to the modernism.People all over the world loved this style.These type of artists were able to take what they saw in nature and create something new from previous historical influences.A famous artist who was well known for this style was Alphonse Mucha.Alphonse Mucha,born in 1860,was a famous artist that was very much inspired by Japonisme.He shows this very clearly in his works he had made and inspires people aswell.Mucha was born in Ivancice.He attended the Munich Academy of Fine Arts who he was enrolled by Karl Khunen.

The Art Nouveau style was known as "Sezessionisti" in France,"Jugendstill" in Germany,"Style Liberty" in Italy and "Modernista" in Spain.The Art Nouveau was then given less interest when Art Deco was introduced in the 1920.This name had came from an exhibition that was held in 1925.This exhibition was held in Paris.It was super popular in the United States and hit many people to fall for it.I had characteristics such as Bright Colours,Sharp Edges and Polished Stone.

This is a window that was designed and influenced by the Art Deco.It features Bright Colours,Geometric Designs and Coloured Glass.To me this reminds me of the art style that people use in churches.It's as if they were also inspired by the religious art that we have nowadays.Artists such as Paul Poiret and Edward McKnight Kauffer were making progress in making furniture,fashion and art with this style.They also made limited-edition items.

The art style quickly went back to the Art Nouveau rather than the Art Deco.Yet this style still kept going and living on even after the Art Nouveau came back as modernism.I really like both of the art style and they yet still inspire me today even though after the years it's been released.
