IN LONDON'S ART NOUVEAU 

Begleiten Sie unseren Guide Tom Bogdanowicz auf einer Tour durch die verborgenen Kunstschätze der Hauptstadt

IM UNTERSCHIED ZU PARIS, Brüssel und Wien ist London nicht berühmt für exuberante Art Nouveau-Gebäude und -Skulpturen. Aber das bedeutet nicht, dass wir keine haben — man muss nur wissen, wo man suchen muss. Und diese urbane Fahrt, verfasst von Tom Bogdanowicz, Autor des London Cycling Guide, offenbart einige versteckte Meisterwerke in der Hauptstadt.   Die Wurzeln des Art Nouveau führen zur britischen Arts and Crafts-Bewegung des späten 19. Jahrhunderts (viele Beispiele im Kensington-Abschnitt der Fahrt), die die Philosophie des Londoners John Ruskin und des Franzosen Viollet-le-Duc widerspiegelte. Sie lehnte die Standardisierung des Klassizismus ab und schätzte die gotische Architektur und Handwerkskunst. Das Erbe zeigt sich in markanten Gebäuden und Skulpturen mit asymmetrischen Formen und Fassaden, und in der Art Nouveau-Interpretation, geprägt von Peitschenschwüngen, Kurven und geschwungenen Blumenornamenten.

Highlights der Route

POIs entlang der Route

  1. Interessanter Ort nach 1,9 km

    THE BLACK FRIAR. 1905 (Herbert Fuller-Clark) Thanks to an intervention by poet Sir John Betjeman and others, we can still enjoy the extraordinary interiors as well as the exterior of the Black Friar pub which was going to be demolished in the 1960s. The interiors illustrating jolly monks and friars singing and carousing were re-modelled by Herbert Fuller-Clark with work by individual sculptors, while the mosaics on the outside are credited to Henry Poole. The pub overlooks the very popular North-South cycleway from Elephant & Castle to Kings Cross.

  2. Interessanter Ort nach 4,6 km

    Orchard House You have only to look at the work of master tiler WJ Neatby to recognise Art Nouveau. The vibrant colours, the curves, the whiplashes, the floral (and culinary) extravagance are all there. Neatby was not, however, an architect and the houses he decorated, like the Fox and Anchor, and Orchard House, follow more conventional Victorian forms. Harrods' food hall is a tiling tour de force and Neatby was also responsible for the decorative exterior tiles.

  3. Interessanter Ort nach 8,5 km

    MICHELIN HOUSE (Francois Epinasse) The famous piles of tyres and Michelin Man, 'Bibendum', are widely known across London. The celebration of the French tyre maker is evident right across the building that is impossible to classify as to style, but would not likely have been built without the popularity and acceptance of Art Nouveau in Paris and elsewhere. Epinasse was an engineer at Michelin and is only known to have designed one other building: the Michelin offices in Paris. The building here was bought by two affluent fans, Terence Conran and Paul Hamlyn and restored and developed as a gourmet restaurant and office space.

  4. Interessanter Ort nach 9,3 km

    12-16 HANS ROAD. 1891 (Charles Voysey & Arthur MacMurdo) Macmurdo's woodcut for the cover of the first publication of the Art Workers' Guild that he founded is credited as the first known example of the Art Nouveau 'whiplash' motif. His buildings did not adopt the motif, but he introduced the early horizontal windows in the Modern style, a trope that became the trademark of fellow Arts and Crafts influencer Voysey. Voysey may be the most influential architect you've never heard of. The two (early) townhouses in Hans Road are not typical of his style, but the low mansions faced in white rough concrete became de rigueur for thousands of 1930s semis — and some argue that his minimalism was a stepping stone to modernism.

  5. Interessanter Ort nach 9,7 km

    HARRODS' FOOD HALL. 1903 (WJ Neatby) You have only to look at the work of master tiler WJ Neatby to recognise Art Nouveau. The vibrant colours, the curves, the whiplashes, the floral (and culinary) extravagance are all there. Neatby was not, however, an architect and the houses he decorated, like the Fox and Anchor, and Orchard House, follow more conventional Victorian forms. Harrods' food hall is a tiling tour de force and Neatby was also responsible for the decorative exterior tiles.

  6. Interessanter Ort nach 10,6 km

    ALL SAINTS CHURCH, 1892 (C H Townsend) Townsend's three masterworks are all in London (the Horniman Museum in Dulwich is not on the ride) and are all iconic buildings built in what is called Free Style'. The Bishopsgate Institute has turrets decorated with intricate foliage and friezes that reflect Art Nouveau. The Whitechapel Gallery was due to have a pre-Raphaelite central frieze by artist Walter Crane but the money ran out. All Saints church is an early work with intricate Arts and Craft sgraffito inside.

  7. Interessanter Ort nach 14,4 km

    QUEEN ALEXANDRA MONUMENT Outside St James's Palace shows Alfred Gilbert's affection for Art Nouveau. Gilbert designed the sculpture as his swansong after being re-admitted to high society following a period Of debt and rejection

  8. Interessanter Ort nach 15,4 km

    Eros George Gilbert falls most clearly in the Art Nouveau category. Eros, or correctly Anteros his brother, in the middle of Piccadilly Circus is his best known work
