Il voyagea, d'abord dans son pays natal et puis, à plusieurs occasions, en...

Picasso was born a Spaniard and, so they say, began to draw before he could speak. As an infant he was instinctively attracted to artist's tools. In early childhood he could spend hours in happy concentration drawing spirals with a sense and meaning known only to himself. At other times, shunning children's games, he traced his first pictures in the sand. This early self-expression held out promise of a rare gift. Málaga must be mentioned, for it...

« N'ayez rien dans vos maisons que vous ne considérez pas utile ou croyez être beau. »

This quote alone from William Morris could summarise the ideology of the Arts & Crafts movement, which triggered a veritable reform in the applied arts in England. Founded by John Ruskin, then put into practice by William Morris, the Arts & Crafts movement promoted revolutionary ideas in Victorian England. In the middle of the "soulless" Industrial Era, when...

A symbol of modernity, the Viennese Secession was defined by the rebellion of twenty artists who were against the conservative Vienna Künstlerhaus' oppressive influence over the city, the epoch, and the whole Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Influenced by Art Nouveau, this movement (created in 1897 by Gustav Klimt, Carl Moll, and Josef Hoffmann) was not an anonymous artistic revolution. Defining itself as a "total art", without any political or commercial...

« À chaque âge son art, à chaque art sa liberté. » Voila la devise de la Sécession viennoise, mouvement dissident (1892-1906), qui fut porté par une vingtaine d'artistes éclairés luttant contre l'académisme conservateur pétrifiant Vienne et tout l'empire austro-hongrois. Courant de l'Art nouveau, la Sécession, officiellement fondée en 1897 par Klimt, Moll et Hoffmann, ne fut pas une révolution artistique anonyme parmi tant d'autres....

At that time life-drawing of the nude was the basis of all academic art training in nineteenth-century Paris. While still a student, Lautrec began to explore Parisian nightlife, which was to provide him with his greatest inspiration,...
