Near the Eiffel Tower

The only graceful Art Nouveau house in Parijs, Avenue Rapp 29

 

If the light is red, no entrance of the house (just a joke, the house is not to visit)

 

 

Houses in Art Nouveau or Jugendstil where broken down as quickly as possible, (since the more sober Art Déco),
under pressure of three powerful enemies. First enemy was the upcoming mass production industry.
While the Art Nouveau was providing work to artists and many craftsmen, so very employing,
the mass production industry wanted to replace as many employees as possible by machines.
For this reason a lot of the Art Nouveau artists and favourites where socialists, a second reason to destroy the works.
The third was the church, who did found the style to sensual. The real reason of their hate was that Art Nouveau was the favourite
of that part of bourgeoisie witch leaned to spirituality, close to Buddhism, Anthroposophy and Theosophy.
