Class March 2, 2009

In class we chose partners and we were assigned to answer their question for our in class blog. Sam's question was... 

Did art nouveau affect other countries like Spain and Ireland, because they were close to the countries that did or did they have their own movement? 

France, Japan, England, Switzerland, America, Belgium, Germany, and Italy were the countries the book talked about. After searching online, I found that Antoni Gaudi was the innovative leader of the Spanish Art Nouveau. (http://www.greatbuildings.com/architects/Antonio_Gaudi.html)  I did not find much on Irish Art Nouveau except about the Irish poet Oscar Wildes, who was in the book.
