February 16 2011 - April 30 2011

The exhibition explores the main aspects of the work of a multi-talented artist. He began his career as a journeyman decorator in Paris, moved to Brussels at the age of twenty, acquired a European reputation as a creator of Oriental-style theater, enjoyed the reptation as the architect of Leopold II and a few major figures of industry and finance, was appreciated in Brussels for the living rooms of the Metropole Hotel, before sinking into oblivion as the years went by. Through the exhibition, visitors will be immersed in the fin-de-siècle atmosphere where an enterprising bourgeoisie raised from glitzy and ephemeral temples dedicated to operetta, music hall, skating, the pleasures of the palate and participated in general to beautify the capital cities. Important moments in life and work of this polymorphic artist will be discussed across five themes: Chambon craftsman in Paris and Brussels, the magic of theater, the Metropole Hotel or a mirror of society, Ostend Royal City, beautifying Brussels from the "Mont des Arts" to the "Caisse d'Epargne". The exhibition raises from the dead an artist who was one of the protagonists of European modern art that was meant magic, curious and misleading.

Japanese Art and the Ecole de Nancy. Exchange and influences.

March 17 2000 - June 26 2000

To us, at the turn of a century and even a millenium, as we reflect on this change, it can be interesting to consider the way, around 1900, European artists tackled this question. Was one to offer the new-born twentieth century the union of all the arts in new modes of circulation ? To return to traditional values or to be resolutely modern ? To dream of a golden age or to declare one's anxiety at the end of a certain world ? Was it the end of one century or the beginning of a new one ?

June 20 2009 - September 20 2009

The Czech painter Alfons Mucha (1860-1939), one of the most popular Art Nouveau artists. His success in Paris was particularly due to the great Sarah Bernhardt with whom, honour-bound, the exhibition begins; with portraits, costumes and even recordings of her voice. The European Partnership forged by the Musée Fabre with the Belvedere Palace in Vienna (which houses Gustav Klimt’s celebrated The Kiss) and the Hypo-der-Kulturstiftung Kunsthalle in Munich, offers a new perspective on Mucha’s indefatigable talent and creativity across all genres, formats and techniques. To mark the occasion, not only will the posters that made his name be shown, but also his magnificent illustrations, jewellery and pastels, enabling us to appreciate the artist’s full genius and power. The exhibition also features two exceptional events: the complete full scale reconstruction of the interior decoration of the Bosnia-Herzegovina pavilion that the artist created for the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris, and the display of two large panels from the l’Epopée Slave (Slav Epic), an enormous work of art totalling almost 1000m2, created to celebrate the Slavic genius at the moment of its independence from Czechoslovakia and, for the first time, showing Mucha’s work on this monumental scale. Thus, thanks to the artist’s unique personality, it is the whole spirit of an epoch, the Belle Epoch, which is being revived during summertime in Montpellier.

THE FIRST MAJOR EXHIBITION in the United States since 1921 of the work of Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939), this exhibition will feature approximately 150 of Mucha's most important paintings, posters, decorative panels, jewelry and sculpture, pastels, drawings and illustrations. Loans have been negotiated with major museums in the Czech Republic, Britain, Japan and America. Mucha was a highly influential artist at the turn of the century, the leading exponent of the much-heralded "new art," so much so that as early as 1900 illustrations of his work were to be seen in cafes and bars in all the major European capitals, as well as in the United States. To this day, Mucha's work has a very broad appeal. The exhibition, organized by Art Services International, will also travel to the Charles and Emma Frye Art Museum, Seattle, WA; The Philbrook Museum of Art, Tulsa, OK.; the North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh, N.C.; and the San Diego Museum of Art, CA.

En collaboration avec les Ateliers BACKHAUSEN de Vienne. En 1887, à Vienne, les architectes M. OLBRICH et M. HOFFMANN, le peintre KLIMT et le dessinateur-styliste KOLOMAN MOSER fondent la SECESSIONSTYL. C'est un mouvement qui pousse l'Art Nouveau vers une esthétique aux géométries plus abstraites, lequel deviendra avec l'Art Déco, un précurseur de la tendance puriste du Modernisme. Ces artistes, le plus souvent architectes, concevaient l'espace dans sa globalité, réalisant jusqu'aux éléments de décoration intérieure. Ainsi, l'Art Textile et le Tapis étaient considérés, au même titre que le mobilier, comme des éléments majeurs et essentiels de l'architecture d' intérieur. Les tapis présentés ont été retissés récemment à partir de cartons originaux détenus par les Ateliers BACKHAUSEN, à Vienne. De nombreux objets (vases, meubles, lampes) et accessoires de mode (robes, bijoux) enrichissent l'exposition et témoignent de l'incroyable créativité de ces artistes, dans tous les domaines des Arts Décoratifs à l'Architecture.

Dès l'entrée, des ferronneries, vestiges de la maison du Peuple, rappellent combien Victor Horta a incarné ce courant à Bruxelles, qui puise son inspiration dans les formes prodiguées par la nature. Cette collection a fait l'objet d'une étude d'intégration dans un projet avorté de construction d'un centre culturel sur le site de l'ancien château Tircher à Jette, explique notre guide Guy Paulus, historien d'art et commissaire de l'exposition. Les bijoux du Liégeois Alain Detrixhe habillent la première salle du rez-de-chaussée, suivis, plus loin, d'une collection de vitraux et d'une affiche authentique de l'artiste schaerbeekois Privat Livemont. Bien qu'il soit l'auteur d'une série de sgraffites et d'affiches que l'on retrouve sur certaines façades bruxelloises, celui que l'on surnomme parfois « le Mucha » belge reste relativement méconnu dans son pays. Place, ensuite, aux deuxième et troisième étages, au plat de résistance de l'exposition : les céramiques décoratives de façades et une partie des collections de l'ASBL des collectionneurs d'Hasselt. La fondation de la manufacture de céramiques décoratives d'Hasselt a coïncidé avec la naissance du style Art nouveau, raconte Guy Paulus. L'industrie a disparu après la Première Guerre mondiale, mais nous avons ici une centaine de pièces qui témoignent de cette époque ; ce qui est assez exceptionnel. Ancien photographe, Guy Paulus a aussi parcouru les rues du nord-ouest de Bruxelles à la recherche de façades remarquables. On y retrouve les thèmes classiques : femmes, fleurs et animaux. Certains habitants n'en soupçonnaient peut-être pas l'existence.

The exhibition and monograph will be presented to the entire creation of the famous Art Nouveau architect's most important in Rijeka in the period from his arrival in the city on Rječini in 1888 until his death in 1912. After his studies in Graz Ambrosini was created in the spirit of the Central High Historicism. Because of the politicized public criticism, client requests, and perhaps nostalgia for the style that marked his schooling until the end of his career kept historicist design of facades and articulation of the interior, while also monitoring and artistic events in Vienna. From there the beginning of the 20th century began arriving impulses of modern scientific urban planning which have led to the design of facilities encompassing Art Nouveau features (houses Schittar, Fabich etc.). Given that the secession of us realized mainly through the facades of plastic invaluable to us the importance of Ambrosini facade decorated with geometric and figurative decoration of classical refinement. Rampant market laws forced him to return to the past succession of styles, but even in these works shows his mature conception of architecture. The exhibition will be issued and monographs Emilio Ambrosini in Croatian and Italian.

Gaudi Universe. Gaudí and art: this is the theme of an exhibition which presents a completely new, comprehensive angle on the work of this inspired architect. Like an exultant "maison d'artiste", Gaudí Universe takes us into the complex mental and aesthetic world of Gaudí, with the works which influenced him, such as those of Ruskin and the pre-Raphaelites, Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, the Symbolists, Wagnerism, Violet-Le-Duc... But also from the viewpoint of those who shared the same working system, putting Gaudí's studio on a par with those of the great sculptors of the period, such as Rodin, Falguière or Camille Claudel, whose work is showcased side by side in the exhibition with the drawings, gouaches and sculptures of Gaudí, many of which have never before been shown. And we also see the seed planted in later artists of Expressionism, Rationalism and Surrealism, from Finsterlin and Dalí to Le Corbusier and Schwitters, in a final part which explains to us the reasons behind his brilliant international success. Four hundred original works to bring us nearer to the personality of Gaudí, to help us to understand the key to his singularity, his way of working, of creating, of conceiving the world, of becoming a vital point of reference: a great exhibition to introduce us into the universe of Gaudí.

Laurelton Hall, Louis Comfort Tiffany's extraordinary country estate in Oyster Bay, New York, completed in 1905, was the epitome of the artist's aesthetic achievement and in many ways defined this multifaceted artist. Conceived almost as a house-museum, Tiffany designed every aspect of the project inside and out, creating a total aesthetic environment. The exhibition will be a window into Tiffany’s most personal art, bringing into focus this remarkable artist who lavished as much care and creativity on the design and furnishing of his home and gardens as he did on all the wide-ranging media in which he worked. Although the house tragically burned to the ground in 1957, the exhibition will bring together many of its surviving architectural elements and interior features. In addition, the exhibition will feature Tiffany's personal collections of his own work...breathtaking stained-glass windows, paintings, glass and ceramic vases...as well as the artist's collections of Japanese, Chinese, and Native American works of art.

In 1902, the Wertheim department store (Berlin) commissioned several artists to conceive a period-room. Among them, Mackay Hugh Baillie-Scott, August Endell, Patriz Huber, Richard Riemerschmid, as well as Peter Behrens. They designed not only the furniture, but everything from the carpet to the lighting. The dining-room made by the latter is displayed. Although it was unaffordable for the middle-class, it gained great success by the critics, and has been sold five times. The chairs have been severally copied by cabinetmakers.

Exhibition presents Suur-Merijoki manor, that was built 1901-1904 in the Rural Commune of Viipuri on the Karelian Isthmus, which at the time of construction belonged to the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland in the Russian Empire. Designed by the architects Herman Gesellius (1874-1916), Armas Lindgren (1874-1929) and Eliel Saarinen (1873-1950), the main building of Suur-Merijoki Manor is the best-known and most complete total work of art in the history of Finnish architecture. The collaboration of these Finnish architects still at the beginning of their careers with their client, the businessman Maximilian Othmar Neuscheller of St. Petersburg, was an opportunity for realizing even their wildest plans. Suur-Merijoki Manor was intended for the leisure use of a family with seven children. On display are beautiful original furniture and sculptures from Suur-Merijoki manor. Manor and its' planning is presented by colorful watercolor washes by Gesellius, Lindgren and Saarinen. Maximilian Othmar Neuscheller himself photographed his leisure house and on display are also color photographs taken by Neuscheller during 1910's.

Ceramics by Theodoor Colenbrander (1841-1930) as he worked for the earthenware factory "Haagsche Plateelbakkerij Rozenburg". He is one of the true visionaries in ceramic art. His bright, abstracted decoration was ahead of its time, and, to the casual viewer, could well seem to have emerged from the hallucinogenic flower-power art of the 1960s.

Though Arts and Crafts designers and architects sought to provide new ways of living for all, it was frequently only the wealthier members of society who were able to benefit from their work, through commissions and expensive purchases. It is often said that the best, and most enduring, designs are the ones we become most familiar with - ones that arrive in our homes almost by stealth. Talwin Morris (1865 - 1911) was certainly a designer who reached many people, and whose designs were accessible to most sections of society. Often overlooked, Talwin Morris was a revolutionary designer of book covers for Blackie & Son between 1893 and his death in 1911, influenced by the art of his adopted city of Glasgow, as well as by European Art Nouveau. His stylised birds and flowers, whiplash lines and spare lettering brought the Glasgow Style to a wider audience and helped create the famous Glasgow 'rose' motif. Talwin Morris has been described as the fifth member of the Glasgow Four, and his influence over the group was certainly important. Charles Rennie Mackintosh owed his commission for the Hill House at Helensburgh to Morris, as it was he who introduced the young architect to his enlightened employer, Walter Blackie. The exhibition will include over sixty beautiful book bindings designed by Talwin Morris, demonstrating the full range of styles he created for Blackie, as well as rarely seen cover designs by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Jessie King and other Glasgow designers. On display will be furniture designs by Morris's contemporaries, and loans from the Glasgow School of Art include an important group of furniture by Mackintosh and an original architect's drawing of Hill House, designed by Mackintosh for Walter Blackie.

Sir Colin and Lady Anderson were passionate about the Art Nouveau style, a ‘new’ and integrated approach to art and design. Their Collection encompassed a great range of the movement and includes furniture by Gallé and Majorelle, posters by Alphonse Mucha, exquisite jewellery by Lalique and Fouquet, glass by Daum, Gallé and Tiffany and metalware made for Liberty. Sir Colin and Lady Anderson also acquired a range of Art Nouveau objects made by unknown designers who adapted the style to the commercial opportunities of mass production. The Anderson Collection of Art Nouveau was given to the University of East Anglia in 1978, and is displayed every three years. A new catalogue was published this year.

October 08 2011 - January 08 2012

October 16 2005 - January 08 2006

This exhibition places the arts and crafts movement in its international context for the first time. Transforming not only how objects looked, the Arts and Crafts movement changed how people looked at objects. The exhibition showcases the movement from the United States and throughout Europe with more than 300 objects including furniture, ceramics, metalwork, textiles, and works on paper, borrowed from 75 institutions and private collections as well as from LACMA’s own superb permanent collection. The Arts and Craft Movement in Europe and America showcases two fully integrated rooms, including a dining room by Peter Behrens, a model room from Germany’s Wertheim department store. The Arts and Crafts Movement was an international one: it touched countries as far apart as Russia and Scotland, the United States, and Australia. The exhibition, curated by LACMA’s Curator of Decorative Arts Wendy Kaplan, a foremost authority on the subject, focuses on the 13 most representative countries. By analyzing Arts and Crafts objects made in England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, France, and the United States, the exhibition explores how the movement’s ideals were disseminated and then transformed in response to specific economic, cultural, and political conditions. The show displays masterworks by the best-known designers of the period, including William Morris, M.H. Baillie Scott, Henry Van de Velde, Peter Behrens, Josef Hoffmann, Eliel Saarinen, Gustav Stickley, Greene and Greene, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Of the numerous masterpieces included in the exhibition, LACMA’s 1903 Bookcase by Koloman Moser (recently donated to the museum by Palevsky) is on view for the first time. On loan from the Metropolitan Museum of Art is Tea Service designed by Josef Hoffmann and the Hungarian Mosaic, Rising Sun comes to Los Angeles from the Róth Museum. All of the objects in the exhibition are explored in three leitmotifs: Art and Industry, Design and National Identity, and Arts and Life.

February 13 2006 - April 23 2006

This exhibition includes some of the best work produced by key makers of the Arts and Crafts movement working in the Lake District at the time when Blackwell was built. The Arts and Crafts in the Lakes had its own distinct identity, inspired by its unique landscape and the presence of some notable personalities, including John Ruskin who made his home in Coniston in 1872. Objects have been carefully selected to illustrate the quality and diversity of work produced in Lakeland workshops, and there will be profiles of some of the people who brought the movement to life. They include Canon and Edith Rawnsley, who founded the Keswick School of Industrial Arts and were also involved in the creation of the National Trust. In addition, there will be information on the work of Ruskin’s former secretary, W.G. Collingwood, whose research into the Lake’s rich Norse and early Christian heritage was to have an influence on the people creating decorative carving and metalwork in the area. Finally, it will look at the work of John Ruskin, whose practical efforts to revive the failing textile cottage industries in the Lakes begins the exhibition. Watercolours by Ruskin and his followers will illustrate the passion for nature that inspired local craftsmen and women to look directly at their surroundings for inspiration. An important aspect of the exhibition will be metalwork by the Keswick School of Industrial Arts, a successful craft school and workshop whose richly decorated répoussé copper and brass work found customers throughout Britain, and is increasingly sought after today. There will be rarely seen pieces as well as designs and drawings from the School’s archive, which is privately owned. Furnishings from the Simpsons of Kendal, an important workshop, favoured by Voysey and Baillie Scott will also be displayed. The Simpsons were commissioned by Baillie Scott to provide much of the elaborate carving at Blackwell. Like the Keswick School, the Simpsons often included rich decoration and pattern in their work. The exhibition will show some of their finest pieces, examining the varied sources and inspiration for their decorative work with the help of contemporary watercolours, drawings and publications. A furnished room will give visitors a rare chance to see how these different craft disciplines worked together to create a Lakeland Arts and Crafts interior of 1900.

Industrial products and excellent hand-crafted examples are only few of the numerous unique pieces. The objects were collected from Austria, Bohemia, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain and the United States. Especially noteworthy among the examples from Germany are remarkable designs from the Pforzheim firms of Theodor Fahrner, Heinrich Levinger and Victor Mayer. Austria is represented with objects from Wiener Werkstatte Co. (deigner: Joseph Hoffmann and others). A major section is devoted to more than 40 buckles from Liberty & Co. of London. Also works by Rene Lalique and Piel Freres who were important representatives of French Art Nouveau. Objects from Denmark include works by Georg Jensen and other outstanding designers. Examples from well-known American skilled technicians such as Tiffany, Unger Brothers and Kerr conclude the selection of works.

William Frend De Morgan (1839 - 1917) was the most sought after potter of the Arts and Crafts movement. The impact his designs and glazes had on ceramics can only be compared to the overwhelming influence William Morris had in the field of textile and wallpaper design. The production of tiles formed the backbone of De Morgan’s output from the beginning of his business onwards and there is a large number on display in this exhibition, including a large body of tiles with floral motifs. There are also humorous animal tiles, as well as four of the highly prized ship tiles. A wide selection of vases, plates, bowls and tiles show the full range of De Morgan’s most popular motifs; flowers, ships, animals, fish and birds alongside imaginary beasts such as serpents and dragons. With works on loan from The De Morgan Centre, London, and many pieces from private collections throughout the country, this is a rare opportunity to survey the broad range of De Morgan’s ceramics within the context of a very special and rare example of an Arts and Crafts movement house.

This rare view of the private collection of Floyd and Dorothy Segel features the work of Mucha's European and American contemporaries, including Louis Comfort Tiffany, Emil Galle and Louis Majorelle. Graphic works by Privat Livremont and Paul Berthon are also on view. Among the highlights of this collection are exquisite lamps produced by Tiffany studios. The Dragonfly Lamp, the Wisteria Lamp and the Peacock Lamp are particularly fine examples of the genre. The Cherry Blossom Lamp (sometimes called the Apple Blossom Lamp), c. 1906, is another of Tiffany's most famous lamps. As with most Art Nouveau, the inspiration for this lamp is a natural form, which the artist has stylized so as to be appropriate to his needs. The form of the lamp roughly approximates to that of a cherry tree, but it has been manipulated to accommodate light bulbs and to acquire the quintessential Tiffany stained glass effect. Similar use of natural forms can be seen throughout the Segel collection, and in particular on legs and backs of chairs and other pieces of furniture. The Segel collection is also very strong in Art Nouveau glass, with major examples by Tiffany, Galle and Loetz. Emil Galle's Cameo Vase demonstrates the artist's pioneering approach to glass, which he, like the Japanese, liked to think of as semi-precious stone. Galle had over a hundred metal oxides at his disposal (metal oxides, when added to clear glass, are what give color), and developed a method of utilizing several different colors in any one piece by making the basic form of a vase out of layers (or "gathers") of differently colored glass. In this way, when the surface of the glass was etched away to form a design, a different color would shine through. Examples of Louis Comfort Tiffany's art glass also bear comparison with Galle's work. Where the Cameo Vase shows intricate post-production detail in the etched designs (completed after the basic shape of the glass was made and cooled), Tiffany's work relies for shape, color and design on the glass blower's skill when the hot material is still being worked. To create the impression of a peacock's feather in a still red-hot and viscous piece of glass requires extreme skill and technical knowledge. Perhaps most importantly however, many people will also get their first taste of Art Nouveau furniture from the Segel collection, which includes rare examples of art nouveau inlaid furniture. Indeed, it was in the French town of Nancy that Art Nouveau took root in the decorative arts after 1884, with the furniture made by Emil Galle. By the late 1890s, the factory of Louis Majorelle in Nancy was also dedicated to producing fine Art Nouveau furniture. Examples of the products of both of these important houses can be enjoyed in this exhibition. The largest piece of furniture in the Segel collection is Majorelle's Inlaid Vitrine, c. 1900. Like all Art Nouveau furniture, it was designed to be at the same time both elegant and functional. The "lightness" of its conception belies the strength and weight of its construction. Majorelle (unlike Galle, who used natural forms wherever he could) believed that nature should be the inspiration of such work, but that reverence should be paid to styles of the past. Here, his modernity can be seen in the delicately repeating inlaid forms which are inspired by fields of flowers; yet the overall shape of the piece is fairly traditional. Floyd and Dorothy Segel have demonstrated their unique tastes when building their broad collection. While Floyd has concentrated on Tiffany, furniture, and some of the perhaps better known art nouveau artists, it is Dorothy who is the guiding force behind the purchases of small pieces of pate de verre by artists such as Almaric Walter and G. Argy Rousseau. Floyd Segel served as President of the Board of Trustees at the Norton from 1993-1997, during which time the museum achieved its goals of expansion, opening the new building, and completing the $30 million capital campaign.

Around 1900, Gustav Klimt began to draw inspiration from the work of Jan Toorop. Thanks to a unique collaboration with the Albertina Museum in Vienna, the Gemeentemuseum is now able to bring works by the two artists together, highlighting Toorop’s essential role. The exhibition also analyses the influence of George Minne and Fernand Khnopff.

The entire graphic works of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec were created towards the end of an equally short and intensive life. A French artist of aristocratic descent, Toulouse-Lautrec was fascinated by the possibilities of the new technology of the day and created 351 mostly colour prints within a decade. Inspired by Japanese wood engravings, his colourful lithographs with their strongly contrasting combination of images and typeface became the stylistic starting point for modern poster art. The aristocrat, who had remained small in stature since his accident, spent most of his time in the cafes, cabarets and brothels around the Montmartre a scene he portrayed without arrogance or false sympathy. His unvarnished scenes of the chic Paris nightlife left a deciding mark on the picture of a legendary era, the so-called "Belle Epoque." The Berliner Otto Gerstenberg's famous pre-World War I collection contains dedicated examples, pre-prints, trial copies and review prints and perfectly unites Toulouse-Lautrec's remarkable œuvre. This presentation of the complete collection of graphic works, put together by Professor Dr. Goetz Adriani, is rounded off with paintings, pastel works and sketches by the artist. Alongside the exhibition a catalogue with colour reproductions of each exhibit will be published by DuMont, Cologne..

One of the most significant and forward looking of the Arts & Crafts designers, William Arthur Smith Benson (1854 – 1924) embodied many of the most important themes of the Arts & Crafts movement. This summer his work is shown at Blackwell, itself a forward-looking house designed with a new century in mind, placing his ‘palpitatingly modern’ work in an ideal, like-minded setting. The exhibition will explore the different aspects of Benson’s work through a variety of elegant exhibits. These have been sourced from important private collections, and so the exhibition will be a rare opportunity to see some truly beautiful pieces not represented in public collections. Having the pieces on view at Blackwell will highlight the forward-looking vitality of design of Benson and Baillie Scott, both young designers at the height of their powers.

From a young age William Morris developed an unusually strong sense of place, which he retained throughout his life. He felt compelled to create domestic environments within which he could feel at ease, and responded to the wider environment with striking intensity. His sense of place runs like a thread through each of the many facets of his life: design, creative writing, socialism and conservation work, each of which will be explored in the exhibition.
