“The Triumph of Nature” exhibition showcases Art Nouveau’s connection to nature. Originating in Europe around 1890, Art Nouveau flourished until World War I, mirroring the museum’s historic building.
Artists abandoned Victorian styles, embracing sinuous lines, organic forms, and bold compositions inspired by the natural world. Floral and faunal motifs, like flowers, birds, and butterflies, are prevalent. Tendrils and vines are incorporated into furniture, with one harp-shaped cabinet featuring a sunflower motif.
The Lightner Museum’s “The Triumph of Nature” exhibition, organized by International Arts & Artists, highlights the museum’s focus on high-quality exhibitions. Four posters were loaned from the Richard H. Driehaus Collection. The exhibit opened on Nov. 17 with a reception featuring craft cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and live music.
