What is Art Nouveau?

An artistic movement originated in Europe in the late 19th century, Art Nouveau (French for “new art”) tried to unify art with everyday life. Thus, the style was not only found in paintings, but also in the architecture, crafts, advertising, jewelry and other applied arts of that time.

Architecturally, the Pergamon in Greece is a classic example of the hellenistic style. You may not see from the image, but the friezes illustrate a poem which was made for the court.

UK, 1899-1904 – Matches: An Appeal
Being quite a pioneer for the future of animation, an animation named Matches: An Appeal was photographed by Arthur Melbourne-Cooper in St. Albans. It was one of the earliest 'applied animations' (animation considered to have a purpose other than entertainment, such as for charity or information) as it asked people to send money to British troops in the Boer War.
Cooper is also acknowledged as the inventor of the CU, or Close-up shot!

Over the next two days, I will highlight the main elements in the history of the moving art form that is animation. To animate means to bring to life, and the past hundred or so years have proven that art has come to life in one of the most complex and dedicated art forms around.
I will use timelines, professional terminology and descriptions to give a very brief rundown of the history up until present day.
Bearing in mind, although animation is one of the newer forms of art, there is an extensive, exhaustive history on it, and I suggest further reading if you so wish! (Further reading will be applied on Day 2).
