Art Nouveau loves nature even as it destroys it. Art Nouveau sometimes feels like a mockery of nature to me--
We love nature so much we have cut down all of the mahogany trees and carved them into an extraordinary excessively pretty banister shaped like no real plant you have ever seen. A staircase frozen in time forever in a dead space filled with insufferable people.

@futurebird Reminds me of: "A suburb is a place where a developer cuts down all the trees, and then names the streets after them."

@futurebird Hmm. What’s your take on William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement? Is he culpable?

I think there is a similar dynamic with arts and crafts but some of them did a better job resisting it.
Their focus on labor is interesting. Who made this? How? Good questions.
