ART NOUVEAU Movement
Design Characteristics :
1. No object was too utilitarian
to be "beautified“
2. Art Nouveau saw no
separation in principle
between different types of
arts
3. It sought a new graphic design
language
4. It embraces a variety of
stylistic interpretations
 Art nouveau artists and designers transformed modern industrial
materials such as iron and glass into graceful, curving forms often
drawn from nature, though with playful elements of fantasy.
 In contrast the architects of the Chicago School, art nouveau
designers were interested in architecture as a form of stylistic
expression rather than as a structural system.
 The name "Art Nouveau" derived from the name of a shop in Paris,
Maison de l'Art Nouveau, at the time run by Samuel Bing, that
showcased objects that followed this approach to design.
