Case Study Essay: The Transition from Art Nouveau to Art Deco
Introduction:
Art Nouveau and Art Deco are two major artistic trends of the twentieth century. It might
be difficult to tell the difference between Art Deco and Art Nouveau. While many individuals are
aware of the provable and fashionable improvements of Art Nouveau and Art Deco in creative
works and models, 'plan patterns' in general receive indisputably less attention. This examination
looks at the evolution of Art Deco and Art Nouveau, as well as their important characteristics.
Art Nouveau and Art Deco are two of the most influential art epochs, influencing everything
from attractive artwork to engineering and visual computerization (Searing, 2014). Sharp points
and numerical forms characterize art Deco, but smooth bends and stretched lines characterize art
Nouveau. The two innovations address two distinct stages in the evolution of contemporary art.
Regardless, the two styles are linked in their depiction of the eras in which they developed and
the scope of their influence. By accepting this social environment and handling cultural
concerns, Art Nouveau and Art Deco-inspired a big portion of the visual craftsmanship is
discussed in this document.
Comparison of Art Nouveau and Art Deco:

Art Nouveau first appeared in the second half of the nineteenth century. Art Nouveau, or
'new artistry,' is usually regarded as the first contemporary art evolution, laying the groundwork
for subsequent vanguard trends. Art Nouveau was driven by the present and the promise of
things to come rather than the past because it attempted to combine all handiwork and eliminate
distinctions between fine and ordinary art (WORDEN, 2012). With an eye to the future, Art
Nouveau broke free from the constraints of art and established a new craze for the twenty-first
century.
Despite the fact that contemporary assembly had been pervasive by the time this pattern
gained popularity, the brighter expressions were primarily made of inexpensively created
components that replicated the designs of outstanding goods from the past (Yun, 2016). The
original advocates of Art Nouveau intended to elevate the surviving enlivening styles by
combining exquisite art with imaginative planning. These initiatives aided in the construction of
a bridge between the enriching and intellectual or aesthetic sciences. Natural and mathematical
structures influenced Nouveau forms of art, emphasizing lines and shapes above variation
(Weisberg, 2013). The Art Nouveau palette was overrun with muffled greens, earthy tones,
yellows, and blues. Exquisite, flowing lines, as well as a blend of elegance and
straightforwardness, distinguish Art Nouveau works.
During the 1920s, Art Deco became extremely popular, and it began to dominate a wide
range of visual expressions, from engineering and painting to visual computerization and
brightening expressions. Art Deco supporters want efficiently made, standard products to have
revamped, contemporary appearances; consequently, they seemed to a large part as vital
everyday articles as opposed to liberal fine arts. Several Art Deco pieces used mathematical
examples with innovative twists to demonstrate machine-time progression (Gebhard, 2016). The
primary goal of Art Deco works was to emphasize the machine-showed up of regular objects,
despite the fact that a big number of these works were woken routinely, including creatures,
plants, and the sun. Nonetheless, these natural unpolished components were frequently expressed
in new, mathematical instances in line with the development's core qualities.

Deco artistry is ornamental in its attention to balance, as it is smooth, smoothed out, and
even. Art Deco's appearance was greatly influenced by inventive progressions, emphasizing
vertical lines, crisscrossed motifs, and rectilinear structures. There has been a lot of development,
from machine invention to advancements in materials like as aluminium, tempered steel, glass,
and plastic. Art Deco signaled a transition while retaining a component of Art Nouveau's
important aims. Art Deco arose in several forms as a result of the demise of Art Nouveau. Art
Deco combined new abilities with a celebration of specialized progress while maintaining a
respect for modern mastery.
Art Nouveau's demise and the birth of Art Deco:

Art Deco, as opposed to Art Nouveau, when vanguard craftsmen ruled the craftsmanship
globe. Cubist work of art had a huge influence because to its clear diagrams and mathematical
concentration on machine magnification and the contemporary world. The rakish and forceful
appearance of futurist craftsmanship’s can also be used to plan Art Deco lavish accents. Art
Deco, on the other hand, was notable for overcoming any conflicts between art, design, and
engineering, and it flowed forward throughout the United States.

Art Nouveau and Art Deco have ebbed and flowed in popularity since their inception,
although both have remained critical to the evolution of modern design. Art Nouveau and Art
Deco are prevalent in everything from home interiors and furniture design to oil painting and
ceramic molds and can be seen all throughout Europe and the United States (Trapp, 2018).
Craftsmen in general continue to use Art Nouveau and Art Deco style components, and experts
continue to demonstrate that the two structures are well known in contemporary craftsmanship
and culture, regardless of whether they accept, mix, or completely follow them.
The industrial origin of Art Nouveau & Art Deco:

On the surface, Art Nouveau and Art Deco appear to be nearly comparable. The two
conferences aimed to update handicraft and elevate enriching expressions to the same level as
traditional aesthetic sciences. Both responded to the Industrial Revolution by resurrecting
tremendous nourishing creative expressions. Regardless, these styles used a variety of techniques
to achieve their objectives. Craftmanship Nouveau used natural and mathematical resources to
create elaborate, flowing designs, whereas Art Deco used just mathematical structures to create
clean forms and more smoothed out plans.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, Art Deco took inspiration from a range of sources, including ancient
craftsmanship, but Art Nouveau mostly rejected this practice; Art Nouveau prioritized structure
and design above variation, with muted colors as the norm. Meanwhile, Art Deco emphasized
saturated colors; these distinctions are small, but they distinguish these two types. Many more
established artworks, adornments, and works of engineering still play important roles in Art
Nouveau and Art Deco today. Many modern fads combine the characteristics of the two trends in
various ways. In modern fancy design, these two systems have practically melded into one, with
many individuals merging Art Deco's mathematical, "Hollywood-style" refinement with Art
Nouveau's natural patterns and shapes. Art The colorful, geometrical elements of Deco are still
prevalent in many homes today. People have also begun to expand Art Nouveau's natural effects
by incorporating more plants into their environments. For over a century, these styles have
shaped the world of exquisite art, and they will continue to do so admirably even as trends shift.
