Art NouveauA newcomer to the Art Nouveau period, 1890-1910, could be
instructed to visualize "sensuous lines, flowing lines, lines
which bend and turn back" to "..think Walter Crane and William Morris were the English artists who advocated Art Nouveau. It was a period in time where all domestic items celebrated craftsmanship and nature and protested against the machine age and crude reproductions of eras past. Their ideas were expressed in architecture, interiors, ceramics, glass and posters. Literally everything was affected by it. For collectors of the period it is names like Charles Rennie Mackintosh, William Morris, Aubrey Beardsley, Lalique, Daum, Tiffany, Galle, Moorcroft, Foley & Wileman, Lotz, Zsolnay and WMF among so many more that are truly exciting.
