Strand 1. Art Nouveau Cities: Between Cosmopolitanism and Local Tradition

One of the objectives of the Art Nouveau European Route and its magazine coupDefouet is to overcome the “large-centre” perspective which, up until a few years ago, predominated in the study of history of art, architecture and the applied and decorative arts. In this strand we went beyond the European context, even inverting the problem, and analysing how the peripheries also became creative centres to disseminate images and ideas.
