Sense and Sensuality: Art Nouveau 1890-1914

About

This exhibition of mainly French Art Nouveau explores the drama and spectacle of contemporary life at the turn of the 20th century. Sense and Sensuality presents some 65 works drawn from the Arwas Collection, the Anderson Collection of Art Nouveau (already in the Sainsbury Centre holdings), and from various other private collections. Following on from the 2012 exhibition, The First Moderns: Art Nouveau, from Nature to Abstraction, which focused on Art Nouveau as the forerunner of international Modern design, this exhibition looks at those Art Nouveau designers who were interested in the darker, more complex side of life. The show embraces the sensuality of Art Nouveau, which at times is risqué, and features a wide range of works from sculpture, graphics, and books to ceramics, glass and furniture.
