What is Art Nouveau? How can you distinguish it from others?
What is it? What are it’s characteristics? How can you distinguish it from other art forms? Please, give an example. Thanks.. ^_^
Art nouveau was a style of art that used natural curve flows and botanicals. It is very stylized, in contrast to the very realistically accurate botanical and architectural art it replaced in the 19th century (1800s). Its curviness distinguishes it from art deco’s straight lines, which followed.
It was used in advertisements, paintings, stained glass, ceramics, jewelry, furniture and architecture. Some of the great art nouveau artists were Aubrey Beardsley (illustration), Alphonse Mucha (illustration, painting) Tiffany (stained glass), Hector Guimard (Paris Metro entrance), and Gaudi (buildings in Barcelona, Spain).
