From the 1880s onwards, aesthetics underwent a profound change. A radical renaissance of the imaginary, enriched by an extraordinary dissemination of scientific knowledge, enhanced creative potential in all spheres of art. At the end of the century in France, this movement converged towards Art Nouveau in a creative spirit that enlivened the work of the workshops. Far from being simply the reflection of a history of forms written elsewhere, jewelry was fully engaged in a fascination with nature and its phenomena.
Divided into three sections, the exhibition at L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts allows visitors to explore developments that were based as much on the use of unusual materials as on the adoption of new visual repertoires:
Fairy-like nature, Bloomings, and Ornamental nature, around pieces by famous artists such as René Lalique, Georges Fouquet, Élisabeth Bonté, Victor Prouvé, Jean Dampt, Jules Desbois, Edward Colonna or Eugène Grasset.
