August 30th 2006 11:14
Bonjour tout le monde!
Today’s post is a continuation of yesterday’s Art Nouveau exposé and will focus on Art Nouveau’s unique character. I’ll also give you a few names of these influential artists who helped contribute to this era in art.
Art Nouveau has a distinctive look and affected all major art forms including painting, sculpture, architecture, jewellery, glass making, media, interior design and much more. It is characterised by unending flowing lines with hyperbolas and parabolas. It was similar in part to the Pre-Raphaelite artists and Symbolism movement. It was famous of innovation and artists experimented with the use of new materials.

There are so many great artists who influenced the development of this modern form. There is a comprehensive list available by clicking here. This will take you to a Wikipedia site, which is really informative.)
That’s it for today. For more information, check out the Wikipedia site and use the external links at the bottom of the page.
We’ll be back looking at Nancy tomorrow
À demain
Melinda
