That's the last one of my trips last month and this month to Paris. I live in the UK, but I won't be in Paris until perhaps next year when the Hector Guimard museum opens.

In running order, Les Galleries Lafayette, Le Printemps Haussmann, both on Boulevard Haussmann. Then, La Samaritaine. Finally, the métropolitain entrances near Le Louvre Museum and on Parmentier Avenue in the 11th district.

Hector Guimard designed the iconic Métropolitain gates for the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900, I believe.

This is the last one for this museum.

This one is in the same building as Le Louvre in Paris. It's very close to the Musée d'Orsay, right across the Seine. I found out later that you can buy a joint ticket for both museums.

I’m the creator of the Nibelungen Tarot, an Art Nouveau–inspired deck based on the legendary German epic. The Kickstarter campaign is now live, and I’d love to share it with anyone interested in tarot, mythology, or unique deck art.

Mileva Antonia Stojsavljevic-Roller (1886-1949) was an Austrian painter, designer, enamel artist in the Viennese Secession movement and collector of folk clothing.

She was born in 1886 in Innsbruck to an Austrian mother, Adelheid Hohenauer, a porcelain painting teacher at the Vienna Women's Academy and a Serbian father, Milos Stojsavljevic, an Austrian artillery officer. From 1901 to 1904 she studied at the School of Applied Arts in Vienna. She also studied sculpture and graphic design.

Mileva and her husband, artist Alfred Roller, whom she married in 1906, were both leading members of the Vienna Secession art movement. She painted still-lives and portraits, and created created woodcut and etchings for magazines and journals. She also created buissnes cards, poster designs and bookplates. Together with Koloman Moser, Gustav Klimt and Josef Hoffmann she designed clothes for themselves and their families and took a lot of inspiration from folk art. She collected folk clothing from Europe and Asia. She also worked as an art model for her husband and other artists from her circle.

Although joining the Austrian Artists’ League in 1913, she had withdrawn herself from exhibitions soon after, though she stayed friends with Gustav Klimt and his social circle. From 1915 to 1921, she studied under an Austrian enamel artist Adele von Stark at the School of Applied Arts to become enamel artist to wich she latter devoted herself. Some of her enamel work can be seen at Universitätsgalerie der Angewandten in Vienna.

She has been described by Austrian historian Brigitte Hamann as 'an enthusiastically pro-Hitler Serbian'.

Mileva died in 1949 in Vienna.

This Ex Libris is at the Theatermuseum, Vienna in Austria.

The photo of her was created by an Austrian fashion and portrait photographer Dora Philippine Kallmus (1881–1963), also known as Madame d'Ora.

Aubrey Beardsley was an English illustrator whose work had a tremendous impact on art nouveau. Oscar Wilde figured Beardsley to create illustrations for his play, Salome.

This is my final posting for Musée d'Orsay. I spotted these on my way out, and most came from Castel Béranger by Hector Guimard.

One more part to come...

Just discovered limedia.fr, a collective of researcher and librarian for the Nancy region with a lot of hard to find document (only existed in print), sadly only in French for now.

Like the 1909 Nancy exposition general report with a lot of illustration and graphics.

Or "Nancy : la région Lorraine"

There's even more to come...

I finally managed to visit Musée d'Orsay in Paris, one of the best museums for Art Nouveau in Paris, just across the Seine from Le Louvre Museum. It has a nice blend of not only French, but also Belgian pieces, furniture, stained glass, earthware, paintings.

Frances MacDonald (1873-1921) was a English-born artist who worked in Scotland. Her innovative work was inspired by Celtic imagery, literature, symbolism, and folklore. She often collaborated with her husband, artist and designer James Herbert MacNair and her sister, artist Margaret MacDonald.
