Art Nouveau • An international style of decoration and architecture which developed in the 1880s and 1890s. • The name derives from the Maison de l'Art Nouveau, an interior design gallery opened in Paris in 1896. • "In design Art Nouveau was characterized by writhing plant forms and an opposition to the historicism which had plagued the 19th century.”
Gustav Klimt • (1862-1918) • Klimt was a Viennese artist. • Klimt took from the Art Nouveau movement but his images were rooted in the Symbolist movement; images represent a concept or idea. • Klimt often used pattern with little change in shade or tint to show space.
