The years 1900 to 1930 framed a period of innovative and influential modern design in France. The architecture of Guimard, the furniture of Majorelle, and the glasswork of Galle and Daum epitomize the Art Nouveau style and form the starting point of this two-day seminar that surveys the French decorative arts. Consider trends in the arts and in everyday life that led to the rise of Art Deco and the landmark Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes of 1925, when Ruhlmann, Jean-Michel Frank, Chareau, and Le Corbusier were designing interiors and furniture. Museum and gallery visits are planned.
