    Art Nouveau In The 19th Century

    The period between 1890 and 1910 marked the movement of Art Nouveau, the French phrase for (“new art”). The period is most well-known as a rebellion against 19th century academic art in which artists began seeking inspiration from natural forms and structures. It can only be assumed which artist led this movement. Eventually, modernist styles like Art Deco replaced Art Nouveau during the Roaring 20’s, but Art Nouveau is considered an important transition from historical snooze-fests to eye-capturing works made then and today. 1897 marked the formation of the Vienna Secession.

    Pop Art And Art Nouveau

    In the early half of the nineteenth century in Europe and American started the slow rise of two artistic movements, Pop Art and Art Nouveau. This was in direct response to the mass media being produced in popular culture. Pop Art emerged partly from absorption of ideas put forward in the work of various artist such as Roy Lichtenstein and partly from a spontaneous response to the commercial imagery that was beginning to swamp the visual world in that country. Art Nouveau originally formed as a response to mass media under a group of artists in New York who wanted to counter pop culture with their art, music, and literature. The prime example of the Art Nouveau movement can be embodied in the work of Yves Klein. Roy Lichtenstein defined the…
