Art Nouveau.

It began in the 1880s and reached its peak between 1890 and 1910. Art Nouveau takes its name from Samuel Bing's Parisian shop called La Maison Art Nouveau, where he displayed products designed in this style. Art Nouveau is a movement, not a single style, which can be divided into straight and curvilinear styles, decorative and graphic art styles, and is known for its use of fluid, graceful lines, organic shapes, and beautiful female figures.

This style has influenced architecture, furniture, product, and clothing design, as well as pattern and typeface design.

The good thing about Art Nouveau is that it considered the whole style. This means that it is both in the architectural style, interior design, furniture and fabrics of Emily Galli glass works.

Design, utensils and artworks, lamps, etc., all have a hierarchical scale. The peak of the development of Art Nouveau was the Universal Exhibition held in Paris in 1900, and the modern style was successful in all respects. In the following decade, the rapid spread of the new style in the most common mass-produced products led to the neglect of Art Nouveau after about 1907.

Like Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism and Art Deco, Art Nouveau is now regarded as the most innovative forerunner of the cultural movements of the 20th century.

Representatives of Art Nouveau include Hercchictor Guimar (designer of Paris metro stations), Emile Geller (designer of butterfly beds), Victor Horta (architect), etc.

1. Hector Guimar.

He emphasized the overall unity of the design, designed more than 100 entrances to the Paris metro, and used natural motives such as plant vines to set up the lifts, the overall structure was cast in bronze and other metals, and the ceilings and railings imitated the shapes of plants, especially the twisted trunks and tangled vines, and the ceiling was more treated with seashell shapes.

2. Emile Geller.

Geller's early furniture design draws on the stylistic characteristics of French medieval art, knotting and elevating natural patterns and shapes, emphasizing the structural stretch with exaggerated and winding lines, and retaining simplified Rococo twists and curves in the table legs and other places.

3. Victor Horta.

His artistic style is extremely revealing to the high-tech mechanical world, like an escapist fantasy with a strong organic appearance.

Emphasis on handicrafts and negation of industrialization and mechanized production.

The style characteristics of Art Nouveau: First, the curvilinear style of using flowing rhythmic undulating lines or outlines to shape the body, which is the most representative style of Art Nouveau. Here, the artists summarized the basic lines from the natural world, and intertwined the stems, leaves, and petals of plants in nature in a romantic or exaggerated way, or extended, or bent or deformed, forming an organic line shape that grows upwards like a vine and meanders and intertwines, and the PS material embodies the upward vitality.

Van der Velde said: "Line is a kind of strength, it symbolizes vitality and essence, and in one sentence it breaks the essence and core of Art Nouveau's pursuit of natural patterns. The second is a linear style that combines concise, abstract straight lines and squares in a regular manner.

In this army, represented by the Brothers-Bian School, elegant straight lines are combined with geometric shapes, and the simple geometric rose pattern is linked with exaggerated rhythmic long lines, forming a sense of rationality and harmony that is perfect and perfect.

Compared to the curvilinear style, this is close to the rationalism of modernist design: France is the birthplace of Art Nouveau, and the design materials include furniture, architecture, interiors, and public facilities.
