About event
In the middle of 90. The period of historisms ends, the styles are mixed, and the architecture gets into a dead end - and in this period the Art Nouveau interferes. Until 1907, the rich use of floral, zoomorphic and figural motifs still appears on the facades of houses and sgraffito, but there are still more historicizing styles. Then the Art Nouveau is diverted from the decoration, and the geometric plaster geometric surfaces are increasingly used, with mayolics, ceramics. The architects Alois Dryák are engaged in Art Nouveau, and Osvald Polívka turns to the Art Nouveau - the visitor will meet with their realizations and are excellent and representative works.
