These letters contributed letters and resulting artworks will be included as part of the exhibition.

Go with the flow: Art Nouveau - Vivienne Laws

Join Vivienne Laws in Cinema 1, The Crossing Theatre Narrabri, for an exciting evening on Go with the flow: Art Nouveau.
Art Nouveau from 1890-1920 aimed to break free from the historicism that defined much of the 19th century. The style received worldwide attention at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, which astoundingly received 51 million visitors. Here, René Lalique had his own pavilion of glass and jewellery, and Siegfried Bing recreated his Paris gallery, the Maison de l’Art Nouveau. The style was characterised by sinuous lines and whiplash curves, and the style came to define the Belle Époque era.
Vivienne Lawes is an art historian, art market analyst and curator/writer who combines a hands-on career in the art business with academic research and teaching in Higher Education. A former art market journalist at The Art Newspaper, she writes for a wide array of publications.
