Catalan Art Nouveau
Catalan Art Nouveau, also known as Modernisme, was a decorative arts movement from Catalonia, Spain, around the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It emphasized organic forms, intricate craftsmanship, and a harmonious integration of architecture, sculpture, and design. Inspired by nature and Catalan identity, notable figures like Antoni Gaudà created highly distinctive buildings featuring flowing lines, colorful mosaics, and innovative use of materials. The style aimed to elevate everyday life through artistic beauty, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern ideas, resulting in a uniquely regional yet globally influential artistic expression.
