art nouveau architecture - ONLINE JOURNEY


ONLINE JOURNEY DESCRIPTION:

In France, Art Nouveau is inevitably attached to the name of Hector Guimard. This architect extraordinaire took an artistic movement that was just emerging through art and design and transposed it into architecture.

Throughout a forty year career, the “Architect of Art” created a body of work of over one hundred creations! Each unique in their own way, yet different by their purpose: country homes; private townhouses, apartment buildings, a school, a city hall, a concert hall, even a synagogue and more!

During this Online Journey, we will explore in what context the Art Nouveau movement appeared and you will understand the difference with Art Deco. We will go through the evolution of Hector Guimard’s unique style with a selection of his early works and masterpieces, inclusive of course of the Metro design with which he left his imprint all over Paris!

Join me on an Online Journey back in time to the “Belle Epoque” when Art was Nouveau!
