Art Nouveau: The Nature of Dreams

Take a look back at our beautiful exhibition Art Nouveau: The Nature of Dreams, curated by Professor Paul Greenhalgh. This exhibition examined the spectacular and controversial vision of art practice that raged across the Western world from the end of the 19th century. Artists and designers were influenced by nature and included René Lalique, William Morris, Alphonse Mucha and Gabriel Dante Rossetti.

    Indeed, Gaudí greatly contributed to Art Nouveau with his unique vision. Thanks for a great video 👏

    In Buenos Aires the style stayed around a little more. And we can see a bit of its Italian, French, Spanish and Austrian variety in many buildings. It seems to be the city outside of Europe with more art nouveau architecture indeed. I do tours based on that, because I'm fascinated.

    Wow, I´d love to have seen that exhibition, too bad travel is limited now. But I am happy to have witnessed it in this way, thank you.

    To me, the artwork of Mucha is the quintessential Art Nouveau master. While others works were indeed exquisite, it was Mucha that has me admiring his works over and over again.

    For me it's Aubrey Beardsley. That bold black like, use of negative space, and grotesquerie rendered in beautiful, intricate designs really sets his art apart from others of the period and is possibly the most dreamlike art of the era. His illustrations of famous books like ones by Wilde and Malory cement his place in many media. You can see his influence even today with artists like Alastair, Tim Sale, and Frank Miller.

    The end of highly skilled craftsmen capable of this level of skill. After WW1 industrial mass production replaced craftsmen....many killed in the war too. Now with computer tech. it could be done.

    @@antoinemozart243 ??? artists don't need to be "inspiring" to be a landmark artist. most of what he does is posters for plays, which is not design to "inspire" but to promote, but he has such a unique and defining style that anyone who sees a work of his would immediately think, Klimt. as well as the fact that all pieces of art are inspiring in their own way to different people, if you don't get inspiration from it doesn't automatically mean "he's shit."
