Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hector Guimard - The Father of French Art Nouveau
Q: You've just written this massive book on Art Nouveau architecture. And so I'd love to kind of dig into that knowledge today. Can you tell me why was he so important?
Guimard fused decorative arts with architecture, helping to define a French modernist approach through integrated ceramic and metalwork, and his work with the Castel Beréranger and Paris Metro stations became emblematic of Art Nouveau while pushing architecture toward a new, collaborative, public-facing role.
