Art Nouveau Glass Works

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how the Art Nouveau Movement played a large role in transforming how normative geometric designs were used in creating glass making at the beginning of the 20th century. The organic and natural design schematics of Art Nouveau made it possible to bring curvature and fauna-based forms into vases and other liquid holding objects. It further discusses how the highly styled kind of Steuben Glass may be debatable as to innovation, but certainly the examples shown here offer an exterior design appropriation that allowed greater freedoms and creativity in glass making techniques.
