Art Nouveau Crane Brooch

René lalique was art nouveau's most important jeweller. He developed a new stylistic language based on sinuous interpretations of natural forms, and championed non-precious materials such as enamel, glass and horn. The resulting pieces were both dramatic and ethereal, and had a profound influence on other jewellers who went on to work in the art nouveau style. Lalique completed an apprenticeship and later attended art school in england before working as a designer for well known parisian jewellery firms. During the 1890s he undertook an exhaustive programme of technical research into glass and enamel, which led to his distinctive jewellery style.

Spanning the decorative arts and architecture, jewellery was particularly suited to this style.

The ​art nouveau period swept through decorative arts and architecture beginning in the mid-1890s, and lasted until around 1910. Fabulously creative, this particular style was known by many names throughout the world. In germany, it was jugendstil. In italy, it was called floreale or stile liberty, while in britain, it was often known as the glasgow style. Its name means "new art" in french, and can be traced back to a gallery in paris owned by samuel bing that was re-opened in 1895 under the new name of la maison de l’art nouveau. For its grand opening, bing featured artists who were among the founders of this new design style.

Art nouveau's organic, undulating, rhythmic line was a deliberate attempt to uproot the imitative historicism that dominated much of the 19th century art. Starting in the late 1880's, nouveau emerged as a break with formal structured mathematical artworks - breathing organic life into the victorian jewelry that had become a disciplinarians endeavor. Nouveau and subsequent eras birthed flowing shapes, pewter and enamel coating and floral motifs. Period examples are plenty - in part because nouveau is such a recent and collectible movement, and in part because art nouveau transcended borders; translations for the movement vary widely. We use the french term meaning new art, the german jugendstil translates to in the style of jugden [magazine], the spanish arte joven to young art, and the russian means contemporary art, but all describe the same movement.
