Transcript of The Beauty of Art Nouveau8
http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/sandamichaela-2077789-art-nouveau8/
Art Noveau is remarkable for its references to Nature, both the animal and the planet world. Hundreds of different flowers, types of foliage and petals coexist with insects, birds, frogs, swans and dragons in a fantastic dream-world: the world of Art Nouveau, where woman is often magically fussed with the natural world to produce the woman-insect and the woman-flower. These elements are to be found in all kinds of pieces, from the now classic brooches, pendants, bracelets and chokers to the pins, earrings, combs and hair bands, as well as in items from the men's jewelry range, such as cuff links and tie-pins.
Lucien Gaillard (1861-1942) was a contemporary of René Lalique and achieved equal fame c. 1900, as Art Nouveau and Japonisme swept Paris. However, unlike Lalique, Gaillard’s animals and insects were proportioned exactly. He did not elongate parts of his animals to express Symbolist philosophy.

Called the bluebird comb, it was done by Lucien Galliard, c.1900. The stars are made from old-cut diamonds. Price estimate: $100,000 – $150,000.

The recreation of a dream-world whose inhabitants are transformed into fantastic, quasi-mythological beings was one of the goals of Art Nouveau.
