Art Nouveau Gallery - Examples of Art Nouveau Design

An art nouveau gallery giving you a brief look at the exceptional quality and superb design available to the art nouveau collector.

It shows clearly how Art Nouveau artists and designers rejected classical European art and looked to Celtic symbols and natural flowing lines for inspiration.

For examples of vases from the Allegory of Russia series see: Richard Scott, Ceramics from The House of Amphora, 1890-1915 (Richard L. Scott, 2004) and Byron Vreeland, Monsters & Maidens, Amphora Pottery of the Art Nouveau Era (Byron Vreeland, 2003).

Newcomb College Vase

Art Nouveau Inspiritation ... The art nouveau designers rejected the inspiration of classical european art and instead looked to Japanese, Celtic and other folk art as a basis for their work.

This can be seen in works by artists such as Gustav Klimt. Typical motifs come from nature: flowers, insects and birds. Lines curve and wind, straight lines were scorned by art nouveau designers.
