Art Noveau two

 Art Nouveau two

Part two of Art Nouveau in the US was mainly influenced by Tiffany and Sullivan.

Art Nouveau in the US Tiffany art revolves around glasswork. During that period, he worked with churches and residential buildings with floral landscapes and semi-abstract forms. Still, Tiffany's business was later sold to Samuel Bing, the owner of an Art Nouveau shop in Paris with Sullivan. His work was more about architecture; he was involved in the rebuilding of Chicago, and his style of architecture reflected contemporary American and the use of Art Nouveau. That earned him the name of Father of Sky Scrapers. His methods used highly decorated architectural details inspired by nature. He was the first architect to use steel frames and create visual unity in a tall building.
