Belgian Art Nouveau: Brussels, European capital of Art Nouveau
07/03/2020 > 07/03/2020
On Saturday March 7, 2020 at 6 p.m., at the Brussels book fair, the Horta Museum editions are organising – following the release of the expected book “Belgian Art Nouveau: Towards the ideal” – a conference dedicated to Belgian Art Nouveau. Under the moderation of Borys Delobbe (UCLouvain), it will confront the three big Belgian names in Art Nouveau: Françoise Aubry (honorary curator of the Horta Museum), Werner Adriaenssens (curator at the Art & History Museum) and Anne Pluymaekers (director from the Culture pole of the European Center for Research and Training in the Glass Arts).
Subject: Born in Brussels at the end of the 19th century, Belgian Art Nouveau has enjoyed exceptional European distribution through the decorative arts. From furniture to glassware, the international aura of these works is to be rediscovered around the book.
Françoise Aubry (honorary curator of the Horta Museum); Werner Adriaenssens (curator at the Art & History Museum); Anne Pluymaekers (Director of the Culture pole of the European Center for Research and Training in Glass Arts). Moderator: Borys Delobbe (UCLouvain).
