My personal insights drawn from 30 years experience studying and visiting the world's art galleries, museums and historic houses. I am passionate about the Pre-Raphaelites, the Arts and Crafts Movement and Art Nouveau.
One aspect of this lecture is incorrect. You keep saying that Margaret's work was influenced by Beardsley - it's just the opposite. Beardsley and Klimt's work were both influenced by Margaret's work - her work came first. Klimt admitted this. Even Rennie said she was the genius of the movement. He was better known, but he followed her vision ... so, this is what she contributed since you seem confused by that.
Wonderful presentation of the Belle Epoch! Thank you. I recently read and would highly recommend the book Occult Paris by Tobias Churton, which examines the spiritual undercurrents of this fascinating time period in gay Paris.
Hungarian secessionist and art nouveau architecture appears to not being recognized enough and not understood in it's historical context, e.g. in comparison to Vienna. Hopefully it will get the attention it deserves.
Very good introduction to the historic aspects before speaking about Liberty. Thank you a lot, is so unusual to approach to architectonical or artistic styles having a strong historic knowledge.
A few typos (Schwerer instead of Schverer, Marjorelle instead of Majorelle...), but all in all a very good presentation, with good narratives about intercalaire and marqueterie.
Thank you! That was fabulous. I would be interested in seeing his various styles as his work evolved over his short career. Two or three images with your good descriptions per stage would be very informative and enable seeing the result of all his inspirations. It also would give an understanding more of Gallé as an individual, a maturing artist. An artist's evolution over time is just as important as all the things from which he derived ideas and inspiration. Thanks again for a fascinating presentation.
The part that most amazes me is how much they did with glass. Leaded glass, dichroic glass, drapery glass, acid-etched glass, it feels limitless. The architecture itself is slightly too whimsical for my taste, especially on the exterior, but the glasswork seems like possibly the best it's been in all of history.
Greetings. This video is interesting. I am fascinated by topics of this type. I like to study and see the world of the late 1800s and early 1900s in its artistic manifestations in every field, especially in design in general and in the furnishing of homes of those eras. Let me introduce myself: I am Renata Teresa Cosulich de Pecine. I inherited from my father a wonderful collection of glass and crystal vases by Renè Lalique and Emile Galle. These items were my father's great passion, who traveled the world to find and buy them for his collection. And I, of course, also inherited this passion from him, Now all the vases are in the villa I inherited, well looked after, but the costs for security and anti-theft systems are becoming very high, so I decided to sell the entire collection in order to be able to live more peacefully and also to not continue to spend a lot of money on security. Of course I regret this, but I have to. In addition to the vases by Lalique and Gallè, I also have beautiful pairs of silver candelabras from the late 1700s, the late 1800s and also from the 1930s of Italian Fascism. For emotional reasons I would like the people interested in my items to be all passionate and in love with these splendid objects, just as my father was, but unfortunately I realize that many are just crude traders only interested in money. Patience ! I have to accept them! However, to have direct and personal contact with interested people, I did not turn to Auction Houses but I thought of speaking directly with people to get to know them. (After all, I am alone and not organized to go up and down to various cities carrying my precious objects. I only have a friend of mine who gradually helps me with packaging and shipping) I had a website made to present the entire collection (for anyone who might be interested, the site is laliquevasesgalle.) Some of my friends, given my passion, ask me questions about my "jargon" when I talk about my collection. For example, what they mean: "Art Nouveau", "Art Deco" or "Liberty", etc. Since it is complicated for me, I always advise them to go to Google and consult the sites on the topic, such as wikipedia. In fact, people in general have confused ideas on the subject, even if many can vaguely interpret the age of an object.
all Nordic countries are part of Europe ----Scandinavia is only Denmark. Sweden and Norway :Nordic Countries are the 3 Scandinavian plus Iceland, Finland, Åland, Faroe Island and Greenland ---Greenland is not really part of Europe as it is located in North America but it is a part of the Danish Kingdom and therefore seen as a Nordic country

I find all your videos extremely educational and motivating. I learned facts about Lalique's art I did not know; your knowledge of history of art is evident with your many references to art Nouveau, Pre-Raphaelite, The Arts and Crafts movement, and more contemporary art. I will start calling this style "art decoratif", instead of Deco... Excellent video! THANK YOU.
Many thanks for the feedback. If you would like to receive my free monthly 'Art History with Anne Newsletter' please send me an email to: anne.anderson99@talk21.com
What a little Gem. I love the easy delivery style. I found it so factual and informative. A beautiful period in English architecture that's enduring and being revisited in contemporary home building; not just in cost-no-object deliciousness, but in low-cost affordable housing. Thank you Anne
