The architect that most accurately captures the spirit of the Art Nouveau (or Jugendstil) is, in my opinion, Victor Horta. Horta was born in 1861 in Ghent (Belgium) and started his carreer as a interior designer in Montmartre, Paris. After his father’s death he moved to Brussels, where he graduated at the Academy of Arts and received his first gold medal for his art.
A year after graduating he started his own bureau, entered many contests and networked a lot, which paid off because Horta became a very popular artist. His design for the Hotel Tassel in 1893 is generally seen as the start of the Art Nouveau. He introduced many new concepts in architecture, which are still used today, for example the bel étage and the soutterain.
Due to copyright issues, not a lot of Horta architecture pictures are online (and you can’t take pictures in the museum!) So if you’re ever visiting Brussels, checking out some Horta buildings will be definately worth the effort!

Simply stunningly beautyfull. I will add it to my “must see” list. Next time I go to Brussles I’ll ask you for the adress.
hey bro Right comment +1 Dermut.
This is probably the only staircase I’ve ever laid eyes on that I can describe as “captivating.”
@Dermut: I’m glad you like it! There’s tons of various Horta buildings in Brussels, so it’s really worth the trip :)
@Bancheese: It really is! I think it’s his most famous piece, this picture is in all the books. I think everyone loves the staircase.

I’ve been a fan of Art Nouveau style for years, and my children have heard me babble on about the beauty of it. Just recently, my oldest daughter, a freshman Architecture major at Lawrence Tech, had this to say: “I never understood how a person’s mouth could literally water over something that wasn’t edible, until I saw this slide of an Art Nouveau stairwell with curved stair and mural/floor tiles all swirling into one continuous piece of functional art.” Just thought you would like to know that.
Hey CaraSue, that’s so nice to hear! Also I imagine it’s very nice for you that your daughter is following in your footsteps, loving Art Nouveau as you do :)
thank you for the Art, that i need this subject!

Tuesday, pending ITC approval. The staff that came
out of nowhere to shock the sports activities world by winning Euro 2004 hopes to complete the
same feat 10 several years later on at the 2014 World Cup
in Brazil.
A spokesperson for ESPN, which will broadcast the World
Cup in the U.S., would not remark on that projection. But U.S.
Men’s Nationwide Crew 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches have
sent an typical audience of one.172 million viewers, which is
55 percent higher than equivalent qualifying matches for 2010.
