The contribution of the Nabis to the decorative arts, though essential, is still unknown. The question of the decorative as a fundamental principle of the unity of creation was imposed at the time of the formation of the group in the late 1880s among these artists who wanted to break the border between fine and applied arts. True pioneers of modern decor, Bonnard, Vuillard, Maurice Denis, ¿ rusier, Ranson, Vallotton, defended an art directly related to life. They created original, joyous and rhythmic works, intended to decorate the contemporary interiors in reaction to the aesthetics of pastiche then in vogue.The decorative art of the Nabis does not respond to any pre-existing aesthetic doctrine but expresses the imaginative fantasy of artists and the audacity of their formal research. This total art experience is based on the decompartmentalization of techniques and the influence of Japan. No library descriptions found. |
