I have chosen Art Nouveau movement as my object of essay.

Here is 200words essay proposal below.

Last Christmas, I visited  Paris and saw many aesthetic Art Nouveau furniture and paintings at Les Arts Decoratifs and Musée d'Orsay. Although I knew the word ‘Art Nouveau’ before visit to those two museums, that was my first encounter with Art Nouveau works. There were a lot of reproduced rooms which were perfectly decorated with Art Nouveau furniture in the museums. I am inspired by those aesthetic looking and fadeless designs which even now look like ‘Art Nouveau’ (New Art).

Art Nouveau is said to have begun in late 19^th century. Because of an appearance of many art movements at the same time, there were similar movements taking off around the world. It seems that each movement had a direct impact on the relationship between each other, like Tiffany’s Japanese-inspired glassware. As well as being accredited as genuinely international movement at the period, it is seen today as an important bridge between Neoclassicism and modernism. UNESCO also has recognized Art Nouveau as significant contributions to cultural heritage.

I would like to look at Art Nouveau not only in architecture, but also applied art, decorative art including jewelry, furniture, lighting and the range of visual arts, and explore what influence it has on fashion and textiles. Here are some of the artists I want to explore;Victor Horta, Alphonse Mucha, Hector Guimard.
