Art Nouveau: Age of Elegance
Art Nouveau: Age of Elegance explores an influential art and design movement that emerged in the early 1900s. Art Nouveau, meaning 鈥渘ew art鈥� in French, was a reaction against mass-produced goods and industrial design, aiming instead to bring beauty, craftsmanship, and artistic expression into everyday life.
Inspired by nature, the iconic style of Art Nouveau is known for its flowing curves, floral and plant motifs, and elegant, decorative patterns. It appeared across a wide range of art forms, including architecture, furniture, posters, glass, ceramics, and more, leaving a lasting impact on design around the world.
This exhibition brings the Art Nouveau era to life with a stunning collection of rare and decorative pieces, including original Mucha posters, rare Amphora ceramics, elegant furniture of the era, glowing Tiffany glass lamps and vases, Japanese prints, colorful French and Czech posters, bronze sculptures, paintings and drawings from the Gilded Age, and so much more!
Featured artists include well-known names like Alphonse Mucha, Louis Comfort Tiffany, 脡mile Gall茅, Edgar Degas, Hector Guimard, and John Singer Sargent. These works come from prestigious collections, including the Richard H. Driehaus Art Exhibition Lending Foundation, the Dr. Thomas and Jill Archambeau Collection, and the Baker Pisano Collection at the Muskegon Museum of Art.
