Art nouveau in France

If the Art nouveau were born in Scotland, it developed much in France with Paris, but especially with Nancy, since the end of the Guerre of 1870 until the beginning of the First World War with a culminating point at the time of the World Fair of 1900 and the creation of the École of Nancy in 1899.

It touched all the aspects of the daily life, since architecture, until furnishing and the decoration public or deprived by the implication of a multitude of artisanal fields.

For this reason, one can quote for:

the glassmaking, famous the brothers Daum, Emile Galle, Jacques Gruber
ceramics, with Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat which is exentré compared to the axis Paris-Nancy
furnishing with Louis Majorelle
architecture with the metro entrances and some buildings on Paris of Hector Guimard. The Villa Majorelle conceived by Wild Henri in collaboration with many artists of the School of Nancy or Emile Andre and Lucien Weissenburger for many private mansions…

And other fields such as the ironwork, joinery, etc since the art nouveau massively used “new technologies” of the time on all the artistic fields.
