Défenseur précoce et passionné du modernisme, il rejeta avec force toute la démesure de l'esthétique sécessionniste qui prévalait dans l'architecture viennoise de cette époque, tout comme(...)

Adolf Loos (1870-1933) fut un personnage haut en couleurs dont la présence dans le foyer culturel qu'était la Vienne du début des années 1900 a galvanisé les constructions du pays. Défenseur précoce et passionné du modernisme, il rejeta avec force toute la démesure de l'esthétique sécessionniste qui prévalait dans l'architecture viennoise de cette époque, tout comme l'ensemble des marqueurs du style «style fin» européen. Au lieu de cela, dans ses discours et ses écrits tels que son essai majeur Ornement et crime (1908), Loos exprime sa «passion pour les surfaces lisses et précieuses». Il défend l'idée selon laquelle l'ornementation en architecture est, par nature, éphémère, prisonnière des modes et des styles du moment, et ainsi rapidement démodée. Ce faisant, elle entraîne le bâtiment qu'elle est censée enrichir vers l'obsolescence. Loos, profondément classique, argumenta plutôt pour des constructions simples, intemporelles, à l'esthétique traditionnelle et aux qualités issues de sa structure.

Summary:
The aesthetic of architect Hector Guimard (1867–1942) has long characterized French Art Nouveau in the popular imagination. This groundbreaking book showcases all aspects of his artistry and recognizes the fundamental modernity of his work. Known for, among other things, the decorative entrances to the Paris Métro and the associated lettering, he often looked to nature for inspiration, and combined materials such as stone and cast iron in unique ways to create designs composed of curves and waves that evoked movement. Guimard broke away from his classical Beaux-Arts training to advocate a modern, abstract style; he also pioneered the use of standardized models for his design objects and experimented with prefabricated designs in his social housing commissions, advancing the technology of the time.
