Art history of jewelry
Art Nouveau Jewelry
Discover the style that introduced a new creative freedom
You will first decipher and interpret the style of a transformative period, the "Belle Époque": the historical context, the inspiration sources, the influences and the means of communication.
By showing you the works of celebrated jewelers like René Lalique, Vever or Fouquet, your teachers will help you to appreciate the audacious innovations made by these visionaries: whiplash curves, radical asymmetry, and new materials.
