Franz von Stuck
Franz von Stuck was a German artist of exceptional skills as a painter, sculptor, engraver, photographer, and draughtsman. He was born in Tettenweis, Germany, in 1863. He was a member-founder of the Munich Secession in 1893, and together with other artists, he was a forerunner of the Art Nouveau experience, called Jugendstil in Germany. Thanks to his style of formal perfection, sensuality and decadent sensitivity, he seduced the art world of half Europe. Von Stuck was particularly successful in Italy, to such an extent that he was granted a solo show at the Venice Biennial of 1909. His figurative repertory derived from classical art centaurs, fauns, nymphs drawn from antique mythology in the wake of a tradition inaugurated by Arnold Böcklin and was mediated through a fin-de-siècle sensibility towards eroticism and artfulness.

- Art Nouveau Pearl Mermaid Porcelain Plaque by Emile JacobBy Emile JacobLocated in Chicago, USWith artful and sensuous handling of material, Emile Jacob demonstrates his life-long love of learning with a technical mastery of porcelain and glazes as well as an awareness of current artistic trends such as Japonisme and l’Art Nouveau. From a bird’s-eye view perspective popularized by Japanese wood block prints circulating in Europe, Jacob immediately confronts the viewer with the sea. The variegated blues and greens take on every murky depth, every iridescence produced on a sun-filled water’s surface; while the suggestion of movement created by undulating patterns of water morphs into sand ridges caused by breaking waves as the viewer nears for a closer examination. The effect is remarkable. Upon closer scrutiny, the abstracted ridges create an affect of being even farther away from the sea, as if high in flight. The same captivating qualities are achieved by the opaque and crystalline glazes to suggest the interior of an oyster’s shell. The ultimate pearl, a female nude, is voluptuously modeled; fusing as one with her seascape, her hair spreads out in wavy tendrils and her graceful, long fingers wrap around the plaque’s edge.
