Difference from Art Nouveau: Geometry, Not Flora

An Art Deco interior that is clearly not Art Nouveau. Art Nouveau lines come from plants: intertwining vines, asymmetrical flower stems, whip-like curves. Here, all lines come from geometry: symmetrical fan shapes, equally divided radial lines, regular stepped setbacks, precise circles and semicircles. All curves can be drawn with a compass; none are freehand. The overall impression is rational rather than organic. Avoid: adding intertwining vines and floral patterns, using asymmetrical free curves, making ironwork whip-like, making patterns feel like growth and flow.

一個明顯不是新藝術的裝飾藝術室內。新藝術的線條來自植物:纏繞的藤蔓、不對稱的花莖、鞭索般的曲線。這裡的線條全部來自幾何:對稱的扇形、等分的放射線、規則的階梯退縮、精準的圓與半圓。所有的曲線都是圓規畫得出來的,沒有一條是自由手繪的。整體是理性而非有機的。避免:加入纏繞的藤蔓與花草紋、使用不對稱的自由曲線、把鐵件做成鞭索狀、讓圖案帶有生長與流動的感覺。
