Dan zicea ca ii pare rau ca am sters partea de cultura a blogului cu una pe zi… adevarul e ca ea inca exista dar doar pe voce.ro. Dar m-am gandit totusi sa aduc si aici cate una buna pentru lipsa de bun gust a unora sau pe gadilarea bunului gust al altora. Eroul de azi e Victor Horta(6ian 1861-9sept1947). Cine a fost Horta? Un om, un belgian, un nume in arhitectura, cel mai important creator de art nouveau in arhitectura dar si in design. Art nouveau, the new art, jugendstil sau seccesion este stilul care se dezvolta intre 1880-1920 si se impleteste cu alte stiluri moderne. Acest stil modern il regasim in arta, arhitectura si design si se diferentiaza de alte stiluri moderne prin fluiditate, curbe, motivele vegetale, detaliere. Din codul acestui stil fac parte: fierul forjat, vitraliul, ceramica si lemnul curb. Una dintre lucrarile sale remarcabile este Hotel Tassel din Brussels 1892 - l-am detaliat in poza. Lucrarile sale: Lambeaux Sculpture Pavilion, at Brussels, Belgium, 1889. Mattyn House, at Brussels, Belgium, 1890.
