Exhibition - The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art

About the Event

The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art brings together approximately 120 of the finest Art Nouveau treasures from the uncommonly rich holdings of the Chrysler Museum of Art. Contemporary with America’s Gilded Age, Art Nouveau was an exuberant, radical style that celebrated beauty and nature while embracing new technologies and international influences.

This comprehensive exhibition gathers a profusion of Art Nouveau works and accessories—furniture, paintings, sculpture, mosaics, books, posters, prints, lamps, and glass from one of the country’s finest and largest collections—all of them originally designed and coordinated to complement each other in elaborate ensembles.

The Triumph of Nature will introduce a new generation to Art Nouveau’s luminous innovations and artistic triumphs, enticing visitors once more into these lustrous, nature-inspired havens of ornate beauty—all orchestrated over a century ago by visionary designers.

The Triumph of Nature: Art Nouveau from the Chrysler Museum of Art is organized by the Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA, and toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC. Support for this exhibition is provided in part by Palmer Museum of Art Sandstone Members Sally and Richard Kalin.
