Art Nouveau 1890-1910

The Art Nouveau Movement was from 1890 to 1910. Some characteristics of this movement included rejection of Victorian styles, designs based on nature, use of modern materials, use of modern techniques, electric lighting, curvilinear forms, and use of decorative ornamentation. The movement was popular in Belgium and France. The artists and designers of this movement were inspired by nature and Japanese art. Designs of this movement typically included flowers, birds, vines, and insects. Victor Horta was the most influential designer of this movement. He was a Belgian architect, designer and teacher. He was best known for unique iron railings and hardware,  stenciled walls and ceilings, asymmetrical façade, twisted iron balconies, large glass window frames, and curvilinear nature related details. Hector Guimard was the most significant designer in Paris. He designed the entrance to the Paris Metro. His designs were manufactured but looked handmade.
