ADFAS Brisbane Half Interest Day - Art Nouveau 1890-1914
Art Nouveau: New Art for the New Century 1890-1914
In 1900 Art Nouveau was at its apogee in Paris. Art Nouveau was a national response and while the New Art went by various names to indicate a break with the establishment, its mission remained the same. Art Nouveau sought to address the needs of modern life, to utilise the latest technologies and to create ‘beautiful objects of everyday use’.
Every woman strove to fashion a House Beautiful with stunning objets d’art, shops were transformed into palaces and Art Nouveau transformed the city: banks, department stores, restaurants and even railway stations were transformed into Palaces of Art.
A short break with refreshments will be provided between the two lectures.
