ART NOUVEAU
What is Art Nouveau ?
• Art nouveau was a design
movement that emerged and
touched all of design arts –
architecture, furniture, fashion,
graphic and product design during
the 1890s and early 20th century
(1894-1914).
• It was the first style of commercial
art used consistently to enhance
the beauty of industrial products.
• Art Nouveau was also true
What is Art Nouveau ?
• Art Nouveau is a French of (New Art)
or(New Style).
• The name 'Art Nouveau' derived from the
name of a shop in Paris, Maison de l'Art
Nouveau, that showcased objects that
followed this approach to design.
• Art Nouveau characterized by highly-
stylized, flowing, curvilinear designs
often incorporating floral and other
plant-inspired motifs (Organic Forms).
• Art Nouveau represents the beginning of
modernism in design (Modern Art &
Architecture).
Influences
• The look of Art Nouveau was
inspired by Asian Art which arrived
in Europe as a result of increase
trade between Europe and Asia.
• Another source of inspiration for
Art Nouveau came from painters
like Vincent Van Gogh and his
swirling forms.
• As art become simplified, the
shapes become more abstract.

Art Nouveau Architecture
• It is characterized by organic--
especially floral and other plant-
inspired- motifs, as well as very
stylized, flowing curvilinear forms.
• Hyperbolas and parabolas in windows,
arches and doors are common.
• Cast iron merely used as columns in
the building field, and Steel as the
symbol of the first industrial
revolution.
• Asymmetrical shapes.

Wien
• Stylistic trends in Vienna took a
significantly different direction.
• Led by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt,
young artists and architects formed a
group called the Wiener Sezession, or
Vienna Secession, in protest against the
entrenched conservatism of the art
establishment in Vienna.
• As did their counterparts elsewhere in
Europe, Sezession designers rejected
historical styles; but in Vienna they
expressed this through an increasing
simplification of form.
• Rather than embracing the writhing
organic forms of Endell or Olbrist in
Munich, Viennese artists moved towards
Wien: The Sezession
• The Wien Sezession was created in May
1897 by the famous painter Gustav
Klimt.
• The first members included Josef Maria
Olbrich, Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser
and Rudolph Bacher.
• When Otto Wagner met the group the
movement took another dimension.
• In 1898, Olbrich built the Sezession
building where the next exhibitions of
the Sezession group took place.
• The Sezession motto: "To each time, its
art; to art, its liberty."
• The building has white nude walls
contrasting with its sculpted golden
