ART NOUVEAU - ART AND CRAFT - JUGENSTIL - MODERNE STYLE: (1895-1925)
To the dawn of the XXth century, with the industrial advent of that era, the style of life change and progress is fast. International Fairs of the end of the last century promotes the exchanges, thus an international style appears under the name of Art nouveau, Modern style, JuANodstil, Art and Craft, Liberty. The main topics of the Modern Style are from vegetable inspiration. By predilection this period will use forms in "knock of whip", the sinuous shapes of the lianas, the bind-weed or the water lilies. These undulating movement do a reverence to the flexibility and suppleness of female hair. One distinguishes two treatments of this vegetable proliferation. To one side these sinuous lines are insulated and drawn as in filigree, leaving great parts of the background visible. Another treatment to the opposite although also using these same sinuous forms will fill up all surface of the tapestry in an inextricable inter-mix. Colors alone making the part of the contrast and thus facilitating the reading of the pattern. In France it is to Nancy that grown this brilliant breath that brought up all the modern decoration. According to Emile Gallé, glass-maker master and decorator of furniture: "the example has to be taken on the vivid to the museum of the nature." . . . . "Each artist has to see in all spring as its clean resurrection."
