» Gay_Klok - Well worth it!
Great article but I do love William Morris designs. It was so exciting. It happened in the garden world too. The "wild" garden began and the cottage garden as an ornamental addition to the house rather than an area to grow the herbs and vegetables And women were at last recognized as garders and garden writersThanks for persisting through all the troubles, I have had a very awkward time today too - Netscape keeps on reporting that there is an error and then bringing up the site. Froze a few times too

» biogardener - Will link your articles
Well, I will have to mention your end of the century art articles to my Age of Doodling Article. I am just working on the links now. That article ties all the art movements of that period together, because I see them as a worldwide phenomenon which arose out of people's innate desire to doodle.I know all about this, because I was born a doodler and have been paying close attention to other doodlers, especially the children whom I have taught who were compulsive doodlers like me.

Art Nouveau must have been much more fun for the artist than painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling or even Cubism...-- posted by Barbara Bell
» Carol Wallace - Better late than never
In response to message posted by bici:I must have missed this the first time around - and I absolutely love Art Nouveau! I was bitterly frustrated that I couldn't somehow take one of Guimard's Metro entrnces home with me to put in the garden. ;-)There is just something about those whiplash curves that sings to me.

In response to message posted by CarolWallace:My husband and I just returned from a week at Paris Las Vegas, and if you love Art Nouveau that's a great place to see a lot of it! The casino and hotel are faithful reproductions of Paris as it might have looked without wars, Depression, and anything built after 1910.
It's almost as good as the real Paris...

In response to message posted by bici:I'd be in heaven! And it's probably cheaper than the real Paris, anyway. I remember those thimbles full of coffee being the US equivalent of $5! But then the Las Vegas Paris probably has no Marches au Puce.

In response to message posted by CarolWallace:Actually, they had a "bazaar" in one of the ballrooms where they gathered all the odds and ends from all the Bally's properties in Atlanta and Vegas gift shops and sold them for about 75% off...we had a great time at this "flea market"!
