The beginnings of art nouveau.(Report from Europe)(Brief Article)
The term art nouveau was coined in Belgium in 1884 by a group of artists known as Les XX, who described themselves as being "votaries of art nouveau." Eleven years later, Siegfried Bing, a German-born dealer, opened a shop in Paris that he called L'Art Nouveau, and its success brought the term into widespread use.
Bing, who specialized in Japanese art as well as the art and crafts of Europe and the United States, was so enthusiastic that he published a monthly periodical entitled Le Japon artistique and organized many exhibitions on rarer aspects of Japanese art including ceramics and prints. He showed these alongside pictures by such artists as Felix Vallotton and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, stained glass by Louis Comfort Tiffany, and fabrics and wallpapers from William Morris and Liberty and Company. At the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900, Bing had his own pavilion, Art Nouveau Bing.
