Strand 1. Art Nouveau Cities: Between Cosmopolitanism and Local Tradition
One of the objectives of the Art Nouveau European Route and its magazine coupDefouet is to overcome the “large-centre” perspective which, up until a few years ago, predominated in the study of history of art, architecture and the applied and decorative arts. In this strand we went beyond the European context, even inverting the problem, and analysing how the peripheries also became creative centres to disseminate images and ideas.

History has never been innocent and Art Nouveau does not escape from this premise. We wanted to reflect on how the history of Art Nouveau has been shaped and how it has become integrated into the discourse on contemporary art and avant garde movements while never abandoning contemplation of political and social interpretations of the movement through the different ways of constructing history.

Art Nouveau legacy has become an identifying icon in many European cities and this has caused curiosity about it to grow. Yet it is an extremely fragile heritage in terms of the complexity of materials employed and because often such heritage is located in private spaces that were never designed to be accessible to the general public. However, aware that such heritage should be publicised, it was necessary to analyse conditions so that preservation and study are compatible with its use by citizens.

During the Art Nouveau years, a new manner of conceiving the applied arts and crafts emerged, one which Nikolaus Pevsner pinpointed years ago as the origin of modern design. Current studies have broadened this horizon. Art Nouveau is not the sole foundation of design but nevertheless one of the most significant. In this section, we aimed to discuss how the applied arts and crafts have also contributed to defining the character of Art Nouveau cities.
