BRAFA Art Talk 2023 with Benjamin Zurstrassen: on the birth of Art Nouveau

At the BRAFA Art Talk of 31 January 2023, Benjamin Zurstrassen, curator of the Horta Museum, analysed the reasons for the emergence of Art Nouveau. The unprecedented artistic and architectural form of expression in Brussels around 1893 was highlighted in terms of its identity, contradictions and difference from the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain. The birthdays and names of the major architectural styles often conceal nuances, secrets and explanations that raise the question of what Art Nouveau actually was, its manifestations and its protagonists.
Talk was given in French.
