A few years back, I overheard someone talking about the art scene in Miami, Florida and how it was really booming. I couldn’t hear all of the conversation (even though my son talks very loudly), but I did latch on to these two words: “art nouveau”. They were probably talking about the Art Nouveau Gallery in Miami, FL. At any rate, when I typed this phrase into the search box, my reaction was …WOW! There is no shortage of tweets on this topic.
Even though the word “nouveau” means modern or up-to-date, the phrase appeared in an art magazine published in the 1800s and it’s been used ever since to describe this art movement.
If interested in learning more, these articles are very informative:
- Art Nouveau Movement Overview | TheArtStory
- What Is Art Nouveau? – Artsy
- 10 Art Nouveau Artists Who Defined the Movement
Of the 10 artists on the list, I only recognized one name. Toulouse-Lautrec. Who wouldn’t know that name? Everybody knows about his painting, “At the Moulin Rouge”.

Brussels is home of the comic books, as well as the cradle of the Art Nouveau movement of architecture and design.
I tried to capture both art forms in this impression of the cafe where we just sat down after a day of meetings#AlexSawThis #art #architecture #comicbooks

Annie French (1872-1965) she was one of the Glasgow Girl. (I’m not going to go down that route today but I will soon). Her style was Art Nouveau and Pre Raphaelite. Beautiful pic.twitter.com/sE6gPfyMHw

Old art ✨
The piece I'm working on right now has a bunch of Magnolias in it (I love them so much) and I remembered this portrait I made… 2 years ago?
Pretty much when I said "Okay, I wanna make art nouveau work for me" 😂🌸 pic.twitter.com/DWkh50uqh0— 🌱Lorena⁷ (@Amaretta_) February 6, 2020

Yasha from the DnD group @CriticalRole. I love her story and imagery! The style I chose for #Yasha is heavily influenced by art nouveau.#criticalrolefanart @TheVulcanSalute pic.twitter.com/qQ4NiruzBt

Toulouse-Lautrec is recognized as one of the artists who defined the Art Nouveau movement. This is his most famous painting. In the 2001 movie "Moulin Rouge!" w/ Nicole Kidman & Ewan McGregor; John Leguizamo played the part of Toulouse Lautrec. https://t.co/vlkPcWeG0Q

Absolutely beautiful art work.
I am not an expert in painting or different types of painting but I enjoyed the tweets.
LOL. When it comes to art, I try to pretend I know what I’m talking about. The fact is, I just know what art I like to see.
More cool and amazing tweets you have chosen.
If you keep encouraging me like this, I’m not going to stop! LOL.
