Jugendstil is a artistic style that arose in Germany around the mid-1890s and continued through the first decade of the 20th century, deriving its name from the Munich magazine Die Jugend, Which featured Art Nouveay designs. Two phases can be discerned in Jugendstil; an early one, before 1900, that is mainly floral in character rooted in English Art Nouveau and Japanese applied arts and prints; and a later, more abstract phase, growing out of the Viennese work of the Belgian-Born Architect and Designer Henry Van de Velde.
The mainly characteristic of this artistic style is full of energy, curve line, aims to let some traditional decoration lifelike also more vigorous. Just like a seed of grass growth up but turn into a beautiful rose. Is a surprised outcome of the new development form traditional.
They not avoided to use new material in their design, I think it is a important element to let the art and design history move that big forward. Also not banned to using machine and using them in a good measure way; mainly for glass and metal, it can let this artistic style become more perfect.
After of this lecture ended and also of doing some research of this topic - Jugendstil. I think it is really a brave, creative and nice try of that period. All of the art works are so tasty till now. It not only retain traditional beauty, also introduce a great creativity of using new method and new material of building and making. What a big confidence!
It cannot be denied that, sometimes when people develop a system of their design ways and working method, it is hard to change, besides is a artistic style from traditional. I always think that, traditional can reflected the culture of a place, also a thing that people already adapted to. Therefore to break a traditional or either to break a designing way is a aim that hard to achieve. But when you bravely to walk out to first step, every things will be different. This is what we need to learn.
