Where did Art Nouveau originate?

Art Nouveau originated in France and Great Britain, but variants materialized elsewhere. The visual vocabulary of Art Nouveau was particularly influenced by the soft colors and abstract images of nature as portrayed in Japanese art prints, which arrived in large numbers in the West after open trade was forced upon Japan in the 1860s. Impressionist artists were moved by the artistic tradition of Japanese woodblock printmaking and other modes of art and design in the East Asian country. The Art Nouveau style quickly reached a wide audience in Europe via advertising posters, book covers, illustrations and other work by such artists as Aubrey Beardsley, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Alphonse Mucha. While all Art Nouveau designs share common formal elements, different countries and regions produced their own versions. Explore a selection of Art Nouveau furniture, jewelry and art on 1stDibs.

How Much Should original art cost?
1 Answer
Lilac Gallery Ltd.March 17, 2021
The cost of original art has a very wide range. For emerging new artist could be in the lower end, ranging from the $50 to $10,000 and the mid-career artists who are already established, their prices range in the thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars and lastly the original art of very established and popular artists that could have auction records in the millions of dollars. Having said that, a good advice would be to learn more about the artist that is of your interest and the pricing range according to your budget, this would include the CV-bio of the artist, quality and quantity of the works produced, gallery representation, exhibitions, private and corporate collections, etc. and base on that information it would be easier to understand better how much that particular original art should cost.
