Jugendstil is often perceived as simply the German expression for Art Nouveau, an artistic movement originating in France and Belgium that enjoyed immense popularity around 1900; however, as this course will explore, both ideologically and stylistically Jugendstil is very different from French Art Nouveau.

Course overview
On the cusp of the 20th-century, contemporary artists, designers and architects wished to foster a new beginning, a ‘spring’ in the creative arts, but to do this they had to break with tradition or ‘secede’ from conservative art institutions. Through the world expositions, Jugendstil fostered an international nationalism, often drawing on folk traditions to assert regional and national identity.
