Art Nouveau

this picture looks like an old church building
Art Nouveau
The picture above is Casa Batllo in Barcelona, this building was mad in 1877. In 1905-1907 the Casa Batllo was remodeled. The build is influenced by Art Nouveau or Modernisme. i really like this because the building looks like it is melting
The word Art Nouveau is french meaning new art also know as jugendstil. My out take of Art Nouveau is curves, flowers and a form of bubble text.
The movement was strongly influenced by Czech artist Alphonse Mucha, when Mucha produced a lithographed poster, which appeared on 1 January 1895 in the streets of Paris as an advertisment for the play Gismonda by Victorien Sardou, starring Sarah Bernhardt. It was an overnight sensation, and announced the new artistic style and its creator to the citizens of Paris. Initially called the Style Mucha, (Mucha Style), this soon became known as Art Nouveau.

i really like Art Nouveau when it comes to buildings.. i really don't like thing that is straight forward things . there is a Art Nouveau buliding in muswell hill. i need to take a picture of it and also post that on my blog. it really fasernating how they build this building and furniture
