Female beauty

As an escape from the stresses of a rapidly changing society facing geopolitical turmoil and modernisation, artists created an exuberant new style. The Allard Pierson’s temporary exhibition ‘Goddesses of Art Nouveau’ examines the movement’s fascination with female beauty and locates it within its sociohistorical context. 

Studio Louter made an introductory film about the goddesses of art nouveau. Between archival images from that turbulent era they will appear as visions from a dream.
