Flourishing Movement : A Journey Through Art Nouveau Architecture
in Paris
In this project, I would like to take the viewers on an Art Nouveau journey through Parisian architecture, exploring its motifs and bold style. My aim is to reintroduce this art movement, which has often been overshadowed by other modern art genres, to my audience.Characterised by many critics as a passing trend and by others as an essential bridge between 19th-century aestheticism and 20th-century design, Art Nouveau rebelled against the "Academic Art". Abandoned and overshadowed by other modern art genres of the time, Art Nouveau was like a flame that burned brightly but briefly.
Art Nouveau is a visual style of art that existed from the 1880s until World War I in Western Europe and the United States. It can be seen in artworks, design objects, and architecture, and is characterised by its use of long sinuous and organic lines. Art Nouveau artists took the plant forms they saw in nature and then flattened and abstracted them into elegant, organic motifs.
Like most other Art Nouveau fans, I am limited to observing only the facades of these mostly privately owned buildings in Paris and appreciating them from a distance.
