Arts and Crafts & Art Nouveau: Art for the Modern World
The Industrial Revolution replaces the aristocratic patron with the Urban Market. Design was bastardized as a commodity for the industrial customer. A.W. Pugin first called for design reform which became a central issue by the1880's. William Morris formulated the Arts and Crafts Movement to restore handwork; Gustav Stickley promoted design reform in the United States. Accepting industrialization, Art Nouveau designers invented designs that were unmistakably new, going beyond the models of history, nature and the everyday. A self-consciously modern design was willfully invented, appearing in different forms in Paris, Nancy, Brussels, Vienna, Munich, Turin, New York and Chicago. Glass, ceramics, furniture, jewelry, graphics and architecture were designed for those who wanted a modern look.
