  • The Influence of Major Cities Architecture on Form of Krakow Town Houses from the Turn of the 20 Th Century
    International Journal of Arts & Sciences, CD-ROM. ISSN: 1944-6934 :: 08(01):305–315 (2015) THE INFLUENCE OF MAJOR CITIES ARCHITECTURE ON FORM OF KRAKOW TOWN HOUSES FROM THE TURN OF THE 20 TH CENTURY Beata Makowska Krakow University of Technology, Poland Krakow town houses dating from the turn of the 20 th century combine a local tradition with tendencies popularized in major European cities ( i.a. Vienna, Paris, Berlin). They present stylistic diversity and individualization of the arrangement of their facades. Many of town houses were apparently influenced, among others, by the then important Vienna school. The decorations combine both the typical geometrical motifs of the Wiener Secession and plant motifs that were usually limited to clearly separated spaces. The influence of the Wiener Secession can be seen in geometrised forms, especially in the motif of a circle with three vertical strips, where the middle strip was often the longest one. In many Krakow structures the impact of Wagner’s works is visible – this refers, among others, to the method of arrangement of decorations on the fa çade (the “floating” façade), in the selection of forms, such as aluminium pins (dots), geometrical divisions (checks), the attic consisting of the simple sectional form supplemented by an iron guard-rail fixed on bricked brackets over the eaves, the window joinery with square divisions (the Quadrastil promoted by the Wiener Werkstätte ), borders of main façade fields, the graphic treatment of bars between windows, or the introduction of inscriptions on façades that are used not only because of their symbolic meaning, but also due to the value of their composition and decorations.

D. Boyer usée de del’École Nancy, cliché © Nancy, m « Une villa moderne » Ce titre est celui de l’un des premiers articles 1 consacrés par la presse à la villa Majorelle en 1902. L’auteur y manifeste son admiration pour le caractère novateur de cette maison construite « par un artiste pour un artiste ». La villa Majorelle est élevée dans les années 1901-1902 , dans ce qui est encore la banlieue peu urbanisée de Nancy. Louis Majorelle décide de construire, au milieu d’un parc arboré, ses ateliers et sa villa. Il dénomme celle-ci Jika en l’honneur de son épouse Jeanne Kretz (initiales JK). Cette villa est le fruit d’une collaboration entre un architecte, Henri Sauvage , qui débute sa carrière, et un industriel d’art déjà reconnu, Louis Majorelle . Les deux hommes se connaissent car ils fréquentent les mêmes lieux parisiens, l’atelier du sculpteur Alexandre Charpentier en particulier. Ils y côtoient d’autres artistes, tels Hector Guimard et le peintre Francis Jourdain, qui participa à la décoration de la villa Majorelle.

    ART NOUVEAU AND THE RESISTANCE TO GERMANIZATION IN ALSACE-LORRAINE, CA. 1898-1914 Peter Clericuzio University of Pennsylvania Between August of 1870 and May of 1871, the French and the Germans fought each other in a conflict whose effects reverberated for the next fifty years. The Franco-Prussian War, sometimes known as the “war that split France and united Germany,”1 had its most long-lasting consequences in the region of Alsace-Lorraine (Fig. 1). Grudgingly handed over to the Germans by the French as one of the spoils of victory, Alsace-Lorraine became the focus of a complex cultural debate that continued at least until the end of World War II. Alsace-Lorraine was returned to France in 1919 (and—except for a brief re-annexation by the Nazis—has remained French territory ever since), but the legacy of its precarious geopolitical situation still can be seen today in the unique sets of laws, customs, and traditions that survive.2 In the decade and a half preceding World War I, the debate over the identity of Alsace- Lorraine and its ties to both France and Germany intensified with the appearance of the style known as Art Nouveau, particularly around the city of Nancy that was located barely thirty kilometres from the post-1871 border established by the Treaty of Frankfort. In Nancy, Art Nouveau became at once an emblem of defiance of the political reality that Alsace-Lorraine was now a German province and a rallying point for the hope that France might someday recapture these “lost provinces.” As the new rulers systematically began to physically and culturally rebuild Alsace-Lorraine after 1871 with a more recognizably German cultural character—bringing it in line with the rest of the Second Reich—many of the regionʼs residents resisted their efforts.
