• Inspired by the lines and shapes of nature
• united flowing, natural forms with more angular contours
• Art Nouveau designers also believed that all the arts should work inharmony to create a "total work of art“
• Art Nouveau was a short-lived movement whose brief incandescencewas a precursor of modernism, which emphasized function over formand the elimination of superfluous ornament.
• Flat, decorative patterns;
• Intertwined organic forms such as stems orflowers;
• An emphasis on handcrafting as opposed tomachine manufacturing;
• The use of new materials; and the rejectionof earlier styles

DEVELOPMENTS IN GLASGOW SCHOOL
• Architecture, interior designing and painting were the three forms of art that rapidly grow and nourish in Glasgow and around since the beginning of 1890’s.
• Macdonald sisters were considered as the pioneers of the graphical and abstract paintings in Glasgow and with collaboration of Mackintosh and Macnair, these four made a remarkable contribution in the advancement of art in Glasgow.
24
DEVELOPMENTS IN ARCHITECTURE
• In the beginning the two main buildings that came forward were the “Glasgow Herald Building” and “Martyr’s Building”.
• “Herald” was built with a dazzling surface of sandstone having a towering structure on its one side giving the influence of Scottish architecture.

• In this building he used the local gray granite brick, which gives influence of Scottish architecture.
26
DEVELOPMENT IN PAINTINGS
Their paintings usually follow the principles of:
• Figures tend to be more emaciated and anguished.
• An interest in symbolism, mythology and fairy subjects.
• Initially the paintings were quite graphical and also sometimes matching with the space scenario example of O Ye, All Ye Who Walk in Willowood which was made for a Willow tea room.
• Mostly paintings we see in this period are of dark colors especially yellow and its tints are quite obvious.
• They often chose to work outdoors. Working outdoors allowed them to produce paintings that were as true to nature as possible and it allowed them to paint realistic objects in their natural environment.

DEVELOPMENTS IN VIENNA SCHOOL

I. The erection of secession building
II. The creation of VERSACRUM
III.The production of Wiener Werkstatte

The Secession Building
The idea was to make an own exhibition space where the secessionists can exhibit there artwork free from all restrictions. For this purpose they initially hired a 30 year old architect “Josef Maria Olbrich” to design the building. Many exhibition were held in this building and this proves to be one of the superlative secessions of the era.

THE VERSACRUM
• The second achievement we see in the Vienna school is that of the creation of their art journal the “Versacrum” which was considered one of the best art magazines in Vienna.
• Published from January 1898 to October 1903
• Contained articles on art theories and practical examples and contribution by both domestic and foreign authors.
32
The Wiener Werkstatte
“Wiener Werkstatte” derived from German word meaning “Vienna workshop”.
It was an Austrian art company registered on 19th May 1903, founded by the secessionists.
The main purpose of this workshop was to provide an outlet for young art graduates of Vienna. The aim of the workshop artists was to bring good art into every part of people’s lives. They also wanted to break with the past and bring new style to everything they produce, chiefly they emphasized on stunning and exclusive craftsmanship.
