The Art Nouveau style Line was an eclectic one, bringing together elements of Japanese art, motifs of ancient cultures, (5) and natural forms. The glass objects of this style were elegant in outline, although often deliberately distorted, with pale or iridescent surfaces. A favored device of the style was to imitate the iridescent surface seen on ancient glass that had been buried. Much of the Art Nouveau glass produced during the years of its greatest popularity had been generically Termed “art glass.” Art glass was intended for decorative purposes and relied for its effect (10) pon carefully chosen color binations and innovative techniques. France produced a number of outstanding exponents of the Art Nouveau style。 among The most celebrated was Emile Galle (18461904).

The basic te of the movementthat function should determine fromwas not a new concept. Soon a distinct aesthetic code evolved: from should be simple, surfaces plain, and any ornament should be based on geometric relationships. This new design (25) concept, coupled with the sharp postwar reactions to the styles and conventions of the preceding decades, created an entirely new public taste which caused Art Nouveau types of glass to fall out of favor. The new taste demanded dramatic effects of contrast, stark outline and plex textural surfaces. 21. What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss?
