Avenue to Schloss Kammer

Klimt, Gustav. Avenue to Schloss Kammer. 1912. Oil on Canvas.110 x 110 cm.








How and why is it relevant to your theme/style?
  • This piece of art has the relavent motifs of Art Nouveau. It has the natural forms and hand made qualities that define the era, and although it does not portray a woman as a key figure, that is not a requirement. 

What is different about this example from previous examples?
  • Unlike my first example, this artwork does not have a key central figure since this is a landscape piece with some exterior architectural elements.
  • Unlike my second example, this piece is more realisic in its compostion and the overall compination of the exterior and the natural elements.

Why is this example important to you?
  • This arwork creates a subttle, but great depth of perception. The trees create an outline of the exterior which almost creates the illiusion that makes the eyes move through the forrestry to find the central subject of this artwork. To me, this is important because the artist understands elements of design (developed in the late 19th century).

Eisenstein, Mikhail Osipovich, Albert Street, Riga. architecture.   How and why is it relevant to your theme/style? The organic forms The handmade like qualities The female form What is diffe rent about this examp le from previous examples? This building is similar to the Chaise Lounge furniture piece in the way that this piece could be mistaken for the Victorian style of design. While this work could have been influened by both styles, what makes this piece art noveau is the inclusion of the female form as a head adorning the building. Why is this example important to you? This is more than just an Art Noveau building, it is an Art Noveau castle. It takes some of the architectual element present in  castles and makes it Art Noveau.

The Water Lily Bed

Majorelle, Louis,  The "Water Lily" bed , 1902-1903, (Musée d'Orsay).   How and why is it relevant to your theme/style? This bed was created within the era of Art Noveau This bed has the motif of nature and the handcrafted quality in the craftmanship. What is diffe rent about this example from previous examples? All previous functional objects were used, but you would not sit on any of them let alone sleep on them. Why is this example important to you? Everything in this piece has handcrafted qualities. Even the bedding is not typical, rather it is also stylized in natural forms to match the bedframe with water lilies incorperated into its design.
