ART NOUVEAU

Art Nouveau

Art Nouveau(French for 'new art') is an international style of art, architecture and design that peaked in popularity at the beginning of the 20th century (1880-1914) and is characterized by highly-stylized, flowing, curvilinear designs often incorporating floral and other plant-inspired motifs.

ART NOUVEAU

Art Nouveau

The French movement '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.

Gaudi was a Spanish (Catalan) Architect who

created complex buildings in that the architecture was

considered sculptural as well.

His buildings are considered biomorphic, or organically-

shaped. This is possibly a rejection to the coldness that

a machine-produced geometric object would

create.

VIENNA SUCCESSION(Austrian Art Nouveau)

Gustav Klimt

Gustav Klimt creating this work at the high point of his "Golden Period", when he painted a number of works in a similar gilded style. A perfect square, the canvas depicts a couple embracing, their bodies entwined in elaborate robes decorated in a style influenced by both linear constructs of the contemporary Art Nouveau style and the organic forms of the earlier Arts and Crafts movement. The work is composed of oil paint with applied layers of gold leaf, an aspect that gives it its strikingly modern, yet evocative appearance.

The viewer gets the sense that the “Kiss” here might be unwanted… The woman doesn’t reciprocate with any expression, while somehow trapped between a cliff and a man who adores her.

This record breaking sale of this piece was enabled by a court order

by the Austrian government to return the painting to the Artist's

rightful heir. The entire dispute lasted over a year and was

necessary to return the painting that was looted by the Nazis during

World War II. Skillfully painted in 1907 by the Art Nouveau master

Gustav Klimt, the painting was purchased by Ronald S. Lauder, the

cosmetics heir, in 2006.
