World Art Nouveau Day 2020

Venus de Milo    
I have always been a fan of the arts. Fine art. Modern Art. Art museums. The list goes on.

In my early years I fancied myself somewhat of an artist with various sketches until I really discovered little in the way of technical merit and gave it all up.

In my latter years I revisited the notion using various drawing and paint programs and reached some equilibrium in the notion that indeed I was artistic at some vague level.

Today is World Art Nouveau Day.

It is an event dedicated to art nouveau which is said to be a style of decorative art prominent in western Europe and the US from about 1890 until World War I.

It is incorporated into design, objets d'art, architecture, and various designs and is characterized by intricate linear designs and flowing curves based on natural forms.

The day goes down each June 10 under the auspices of The Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest, Art Nouveau European Route in Barcelona, and the Réseau Art Nouveau Network in Brussels.

My personal interests in art are not a function of World Art Nouveau Day and though I am not a fan of the European Union it is simply a point at which my interests intersect those of others in the international artistic community.

I will never be a proponent of global anything ... art or otherwise.

The so-called new world order is a false prophecy propagated by the traitor George H W Bush who should have never been elected to the presidency of the United States.
