<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 11104752, member: 2844&quot;]Jugendstil is often called the German Art Nouveau, but it isn&#039;t.</p><p>It is also a &#039;new art&#039; and developed around the same time as Belgian and French AN, but it is different. True, some (jewellery, WMF) designers copied the Belgian and French Art Nouveau to some extent, often for commercial reasons, but most didn&#039;t.</p><p>Most designers followed their own German designs, which never had the floral flowing lines, whiplash motifs or extreme focus on women of AN. True Jugendstil is much more stark than Art Nouveau, with bold straight lines and angular corner motifs.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is certainly an overlap between the Arts&amp;Crafts-Vienna Secession-Jugendstil movements, and it is often difficult to differentiate. In the German-speaking world Vienna Secession is known as the Viennese Jugendstil, so it is considered one of the schools within the Jugendstil movement.</p><p><br /></p><p>The artists from Arts&amp;Crafts-Vienna Secession-Jugendstil often travelled and worked in the countries of their related traditions or they spent time together in the German cultural centre and artist&#039;s colony Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt. Mathildenhöhe was co-founded by Vienna Secession architect Joseph Maria Olbrich, who also designed the Secession building in Vienna.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
