How did Louis comfort Tiffany incorporate a convention of art nouveau in magnolias and irises?

Answer 1

Louis Comfort Tiffany incorporated a convention of art nouveau into magnolias and irises by using elements of nature for decorative objects. One of his big interest was decorative arts, and that is probably why he also used nature elements as decorative objects in his paintings.

Answer 2

American artist Louis Comfort Tiffany began his career as a painter, and in the late 1870s began to work in decorative arts, notably stained glass. He was initially influenced by both American decorative glass artists and by work being done in England and France.

As the Art Nouveau ("new art") style began to take hold in various cities in Europe, its influence spread to the U.S. and to Tiffany. On a visit to the influential Paris Exposition of 1889, Tiffany encountered the work of a number of European artists working in the new style, including Alphonse Mucha, the artist most widely associated with the advent of the Art Nouveau style.

Tiffany was particularly impressed with the decorative glass work of French Art Nouveau artist Emile Galle. Like Tiffany, Galle was involved with experimental new techniques for working with glass. Galle was also one of the leading proponents of the Art Nouveau movement.

Tiffany took his European influences, incorporated them into his own unique approach, and created a style of glass work and decorative arts that made him the American artist most associated with the Art Nouveau movement, though he never applied that term to his own style.

Answer 3

Tiffany made his stained glass by mixing different colors of glass together while hot.
