Art history of jewelry

Art Nouveau Jewelry

L'ÉCOLE Asia Pacific Art Nouveau Jewelry Full

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.

About the course

Art Nouveau, the revolutionary artistic movement, appeared in reaction to later 19th-century conservatism.
