Lettering / typefaces

FTA: ‘Designers often created original styles of typeface that worked harmoniously with the image, e.g. Arnold Böcklin typeface in 1904.’

Maybe it would be nice to have a little gallery of Art Nouveau (inspired) lettering and typefaces here. Art Nouveau is well-known for its distinctive lettering, so I think we should showcase that.

I got here because of Desdemona, but I'm also thinking of Elefanta, Warszawa, Gatsby, Abaddon, Christina Torre's typefaces, Rivanna, Maigret &c. I realise most of these didn't exist as typefaces at the time, because a lot of custom lettering was done, but you get what I mean. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.61.180.106 (talk) 13:09, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph that needs splitting

Specifically, the second paragraph of the section "[f]urniture". I think the sentence starting with "[o]ther notable furniture designers ..." would be a good place to split it. Could anyone please tell me if this is a good idea? Thylacine24 (talk) 04:40, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Franco-centrism

I think this article is centred in the history of only french and british art nouveau, ignoring other vital origins, such as Antoni Gaudí, who started his architecture career in 1878, 20 years before any Art Nouveau architect mentioned in the first part of "History" section, only mentioned briefly in the last paragraph. Antoni Gaudí became an important pioneer in the Art Nouveau. He was a promoter of the eastern eclecticism and naturalism in architecture. His first big work, the Casa Vicens, was very colorful and it was a mix of different styles: far-east asian, persian, mozarabic, etc. And it was designed in 1878. By the late 1880's he already behan to work with moving and curved shapes, which inspired many others in France and Belgium. Politonno (talk) 23:07, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Palau Güell - Wrong quote?

Hey, I think the following part should be revised by someone more qualified to decide than myself.

Gaudí used floral and organic forms in a very novel way in Palau Güell (1886–1890). According to UNESCO, "the architecture of the park combined elements from the Arts and Crafts movement, Symbolism, Expressionism, and Rationalism, and presaged and influenced many forms and techniques of 20th-century Modernism."

What I think is wrong: the quote seems to refer to Park Güell, a later and better known work by Gaudí, that shares only its patron's name with Palau Güell. I believe the similarity in names may have led to confussion. Palau Güell is one of the earliest works by Gaudí and (contrary to most of his emblematic works, including Park Güell) is situated inside Barcelona's Old City, so it doesn't have space to contain any park or any outdoors space at all. 90.166.70.144 (talk) 08:20, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
