Abstract

Art Nouveau designates a decorative and architectural style developed in the 1880's and 1890's in the West. Born in reaction to the Industrial Revolution and to the creative vacuum it left behind, Art Nouveau was at the heart of a "renaissance" in the decorative arts. The primary objective of the movement was the creation of a new aesthetic of nature through a return to the study of natural subjects. In order to achieve this, such artists as Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, Antoni Gaudí, Jan Toorop, and William Morris favoured innovation in technique and novelty of forms.After its triumph at the

Abstract

L'Art nouveau désigne un style décoratif et architectural qui se développe dans les années 1880-1890 en Occident. Né en réaction contre les dérives de l'industrialisation et le vide créatif qu'elle entraîne, l'Art nouveau est à l'origine d'une véritable renaissance des arts décoratifs. L'objectif premier est la création d'une nouvelle esthétique de la nature, par un retour à l'étude du motif naturel. Pour ce faire, des artistes tels que Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, Antoni Gaudí, Jan Toorop et William Morris privilégient la recherche technique et la nouveauté des formes. Cette mode n'a eu de ce

Abstract

Born in 1860 in a small Czech town, Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) was an artist on the forefront of Art Nouveau, the modernist movement that swept Paris in the 1910s, marking a return to the simplicity of natural forms, and changing the world of art and design forever. In fact, Art Nouveau was known to insiders as the "Mucha style" for the legions of imitators who adapted the master's celebrated tableaux. Today, his distinctive depictions of lithe young women in classical dress have become a pop cultural touchstone, inspiring album covers, comic books, and everything in between. Patrick Bade and

Abstract

Art Nouveau was a style for a new age, but it was also one that continued to look back to the past. This new study shows how in expressing many of their most essential concerns - sexuality, death and the nature of art - its artists drew heavily upon classical literature and the iconography of classical art. It challenges the conventional view that Art Nouveau's adherents turned their backs on Classicism in their quest for new forms. Across Europe and North America, artists continued to turn back to the ancient world, and in particular to Greece, for the vitality with which they sought to infuse their creations. The works of many well-known artists are considered through this prism, including those of Gustav Klimt, Aubrey Beardsley and Louis Comfort Tiffany. But, breaking new ground in its comparative approach, this study also considers some of the movement's less well-known painters, sculptors, jewellers and architects, including in central and eastern Europe, and their use of classical iconography to express new ideas of nationhood. Across the world, while Art Nouveau was a plural style drawing on multiple influences, the Classics remained a key artistic vocabulary for its artists, whether blended with Orientalist and other iconographies, or preserving the purity of classical form

Abstract

Art Nouveau thrived from the late 1890s through the First World War. The international design movement reveled in curvilinear forms and both playful and macabre visions and had a deep impact on cinematic art direction, costuming, gender representation, genre, and theme. Though historians have long dismissed Art Nouveau as a decadent cultural mode, its tremendous afterlife in cinema proves otherwise. In Cinema by Design, Lucy Fischer traces Art Nouveau's long history in films from various decades and global locales, appreciating the movement's enduring avant-garde aesthetics and dynamic ideology. Fischer begins with the portrayal of women and nature in the magical "trick films" of the Spanish director Segundo de Chomon; the elite dress and decor design choices in Cecil B. DeMille's The Affairs of Anatol (1921); and the mise-en-sc ne of fantasy in Raoul Walsh's The Thief of Bagdad (1924). Reading Salome (1923), Fischer shows how the cinema offered an engaging frame for adapting the risque works of Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsley.

Abstract

Qu'est-ce qu'un artiste industriel ? Quel est le statut de son œuvre au sein de la hiérarchie des arts et face à l'essor de la production mécanique d'objets en série de qualité esthétique incertaine ? Dans la France de la seconde moitié du xixe siècle, les voies de la revalorisation des arts traditionnellement considérés comme « mineurs » sont multiples : action de l'Union centrale, réforme de l'enseignement, accès aux Salons ou conquête du droit à la signature. Mais le rôle de l'artiste industriel devient central surtout grâce à ceux qui, proches de certains courants de la pensée utopique, établissent un lien direct entre la qualité du logement et la « moralité » de l'habitant. C'est seulement après avoir acquis une légitimité esthétique et sociale que les arts « mineurs » deviennent le pivot de la réflexion et de la production des tenants de l'Art nouveau. Parmi eux, une poignée d'architectes, peintres et sculpteurs – l'Art dans Tout – décide, à partir de 1896, de se consacrer exclusivement à l'intérieur, à son organisation, à son ameublement et à son décor. Le groupe entend ainsi réunir « ces prétendus arts majeurs et mineurs » et rendre aux spécialités artistiques « leur dignité d'art populaire ». Convaincu qu'« un intérieur médiocre, banal, au milieu de la laideur, n'est pas […] sans influence sur le développement, sur la culture de la personne intellectuelle ou morale », il rationalise et décore avec sobriété suivant les théories de Viollet-le-Duc, préparant ainsi l'environnement quotidien de l'homme du xxe siècle. S'adressant idéalement à une clientèle moyenne, l'Art dans Tout ne pourra pas vaincre l'hostilité qu'une industrie peu courageuse et un public attaché aux « styles » lui opposeront. Dissous dès 1901, le groupe éclaire l'une des tentatives les plus audacieuses de l'Art nouveau d'abolir la barrière entre les arts, l'industrie et la vie quotidienne.
