There are artistic movements<\/strong> that one admires from afar, and others that settle into life without warning. Born at the end of the 19th century<\/strong>, Art Nouveau arrives before Art Deco<\/strong>, but with a profoundly different intention. Where Art Deco moves towards the geometry<\/strong>, the structure<\/strong> and the rigour<\/strong>, Art Nouveau chooses the living<\/strong>. The lines are organic<\/strong>, the shapes are inspired by nature<\/strong>, bodies extend into the flowers<\/strong>, hair becomes arabesques<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nothing is set in stone. What touches me deeply about this movement is the time<\/strong> that he asks for. The care<\/strong> worn at each detail<\/strong>. The architectures of that era are incredibly ornate, sometimes almost excessive, but never free<\/strong>. Each curve<\/strong> has a reason to exist. Every ornament<\/strong> is thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can smell it coming main<\/strong>, the patience<\/strong>, the\u2019attention<\/strong>. I like the attention to detail<\/strong>. For me, it is the details that make all the difference. That is where something becomes singular<\/strong>, recognisable<\/strong>, living<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before, many things were done with detail<\/strong>. We took our time. We thought about every line<\/strong>, each curve<\/strong>, each finish<\/strong>. These days, everything is often more smooth<\/strong>, plus fast<\/strong>, plus uniform<\/strong>. The images look alike, the objects do too, and in the end you can't really tell what stands out from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The detail<\/strong> is not a luxury. When people talk about Art Nouveau, one name naturally comes to mind: Alphonse Mucha<\/strong>. Sound posters<\/strong>, ses women<\/strong>, ses compositions<\/strong> have become benchmarks. Faces gentle yet powerful<\/strong>, of asserted stances<\/strong>, a obvious elegance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mucha did not merely illustrate an era. He created a visual language<\/strong> that still transcends time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But Art Nouveau is not limited to Mucha. It also lives on in the\u2019architecture<\/strong>, the furniture<\/strong>, the everyday objects<\/strong>. The Parisian metro entrances designed by Hector Guimard<\/strong>, the buildings of Brussels<\/strong>, evolve Vienna<\/strong>, evolve Prague<\/strong>, the ironwork<\/strong>, the stained glass<\/strong>, the stairs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everything is designed as a coherent set<\/strong>. Art is no longer reserved for museums. It is descending into the street<\/strong>, it forces its way into the life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps that is why this movement still resonates so much today. It does not seek to impress<\/strong>. He is trying to accompany<\/strong>. \u00c0 embellish<\/strong>. To make cohabit\u2019art<\/strong> and the daily<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In an increasingly fast<\/strong>, standardised<\/strong>, digital<\/strong>, Art Nouveau brings to mind something else: a taste for detail<\/strong>, you slow movement<\/strong>, a sense of imperfect but living beauty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When working on the Skin<\/strong>, this approach really comes into its own. The skin is not a medium frozen<\/strong>. She move<\/strong>, she ages<\/strong>, she Breathe<\/strong>. Art Nouveau, with its fluid lines<\/strong> and its organic compositions<\/strong>, adapts naturally to Corps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He does not force him. That is why this movement continues to be a part of my work. Not as a fashion<\/strong>, nor as a plated reference<\/strong>, but as a way of thinking about the image<\/strong>. Take the time<\/strong>. To build a composition<\/strong>. Leave breathe<\/strong> the lines. To accept that not everything is quite perfect symmetrical<\/strong>, not totally smooth<\/strong>, but fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\u2019Art Nouveau<\/strong> is not a nostalgic style. And as long as we need beauty<\/strong>, evolve slowness<\/strong> and of sense<\/strong>, it will continue to exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" L\u2019Art nouveau, une pr\u00e9sence qui s\u2019impose sans bruit Il y a des mouvements artistiques qu\u2019on admire de loin, et d\u2019autres qui s\u2019installent dans la vie sans pr\u00e9venir.L\u2019Art nouveau fait partie de ceux-l\u00e0.

Art Nouveau<\/strong> is one of them. It is everywhere, often without being named. In a facade<\/strong>, a grille<\/strong>, a poster<\/strong>, a typography<\/strong>, a curve<\/strong>. And once you start noticing it, it becomes impossible to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\nArt Nouveau, the choice of the living<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Everything is in movement<\/strong>, all Roundabout<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTime, detail and the human hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One mainly feels the desire to do it handsome<\/strong>, really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is what gives it character<\/strong>.
What allows one to get out of the mould<\/strong>, sometimes discreetly, but sustainably<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlphonse Mucha and the Art Nouveau style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
