***For Laura (lamartineta)*** Art Nouveau is an international movement and style of art, architecture and applied art, especially the decorative arts that peaked in popularity at the turn of the 20th century (1890-1905). The name 'Art nouveau' is French for 'new art'. It is also known as Jugendstil, German for 'youth style', named after the magazine Jugend, which promoted it, and in Italy, Stile Liberty from the department store in London, Liberty & Co., which popularized the style. A reaction to academic art of the 19th century, it is characterized by organic, especially floral and other plant-inspired motifs, as well as highly-stylized, flowing curvilinear forms. Art Nouveau is an approach to design according to which artists should work on everything from architecture to furniture, making art part of everyday life. Art Nouveau buildings often have asymmetrical shapes, arches and decorative surfaces with curved, plant-like designs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Nouveau --------------------------- Music : Kenio Fuke. 1.

1. Josh, Splendid, Fabulous video here! Thanks immensely. Imagine my joy and surprise when the last photo was of the ceiling in the building where I, and other pianists and singers, spent three weeks, eating, sleeping, playing, and singing! And I was just thinking today, as I had been looking at a book with Gaudi pictures, and pictures of Casa Mila, that at least once in my life I had lived, however briefly, in Art Nouveau splendor. And then I find your video, and there it was- along with the breathtaking assortment of masterpieces you have collected here!
