"Art in everything and for everyone" is the slogan of the promoters of Art Nouveau, an international movement that reached its peak between 1890 and 1910. Celebrating the founding recourse to Nature and taking into account the latest technical developments, the creators also sought to promote the crafts in the face of industrial standardization. This aesthetic movement disrupted a society stifled by the yoke of the eclectic mix of styles and its uncompromising codes. The sensuality, vitality, and eroticism that some of its creations exuded even caused a scandal. This art, which sought to be total, found its privileged place of expression in the home. A truly ephemeral key moment in the history of art, quickly swept away by a return to geometry that heralded the Art Deco style, Art Nouveau occupied a vast field of abundant experimentation, from architecture to the decorative arts, including painting and sculpture. Serrurier-Bovy, Gallé, Vuillard, Denis, Carriès, so many artists and masterpieces that mark the broad panorama that this work traces through the collections of the Oise departmental museum in Beauvais, thus drawing a rare synthesis of an emblematic movement of the Belle Epoque.
