Art Nouveau Art and Interior

Art Nouveau - Fine Art and Interior

One of the Art nouveau movement is its relationship to fine art. In line with with the Art Nouveau philosophy that art should become part of everyday life, it employed flat, decorative patterns that could be used in all art forms. Typical decorative elements include leaf and tendril motifs, intertwined organic forms, mostly curvaceous in shape, although right-angled designs were also prevalent in Scotland and in Austria. Art made in this style typically depicted lavish birds, flowers, insects and other zoo-morphs, as well as the hair and curvaceous bodies of beautiful women.

The Beethoven Frieze is a painting by Gustav Klimt on display in the Secession Building located in Vienna, Austria. The frieze was painted directly on the walls with light materials. After the exhibition the painting was preserved, although it did not go on display again until 1986.

I could not find much difference between Modern design and Art Nouveau design. By simply placing Art Nouveau fine art, it seems Art Nouveau style in current interior. 

Peer Review

Courtney: I agree with her quote-"Art Nouveau was a movement which valued the "total works of arts", which put painting and sculpturing on the same level as furniture design and ironwork. In return, art became the center of culture, fine and applied arts were no longer separated."
Megan: Her Assignment has her own view of Art Nouveau.
