In a building full of showstopper rooms, the Maher Gallery never fails to impress. Originally the space was designed as a gallery for the Nickerson family to display their immense collection of art. When the Fishers moved in, they hired George Washington Maher to redesign the room, with a stained-glass dome, Art Nouveau mosaic fireplace surround by Giannini & Hilgart, and room to display their hunting trophies. Today, the Gallery is one of our most special: a place for quiet, for light, and for contemplation.

For the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, the prominent perfumery G. Millot commissioned Hector Guimard to design their entire stand, taking full advantage of the architect's ethos for "the total work of art." For Millot's perfume, Kantirix ("the flower of Mexico"), Guimard designed the bottles, powder boxes, labels, and packaging.

Art Nouveau architect Hector Guimard advocated for the idea of the 'total work of art'-- or, in German, Gesamtkunstwerk. In his buildings, that included designing furniture, light fixtures, wallpaper, down to the doorknobs. Here in the Nickerson Mansion Sitting Room, a total work of art unto itself, you can see examples of what we'd call today his 360 approach to design.

Hector Guimard designed this building in 1910 for Paul Mezzara, a decorative artist specializing in lace and embroidery. Heralded as evidence of Guimard's evolving style to a more restrained and elegant conception of Art Nouveau, the HÎtel Mezzara still stands today in the 16th arrondissment in Paris. It was used as the stage set for the 2009 film, "Chéri ," starring Michelle Pfeiffer. Here you can see Pfeiffer peering plaintively out of the second story window.

"Chéri" is our next film event, on August 31, including a talkback from University of Chicago professor, Leora Auslander. For tickets: https://ow.ly/uhVx50Ps6tY

Born in 1860, Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha.

This page comes from a limited edition book produced by Mucha called ‘Le Pater,’ or more commonly, The Lord’s Prayer. In it, Mucha meditates on humankind’s search for a higher spiritual state. Although this is a traditional Christian prayer, Mucha drew upon a variety of sources to explicate his own personal views related to Spiritualism and Freemasonry.

Mucha published ‘Le Pater’ in Paris in 1899 at a turning point in his career. He had tired of the life of a commercial poster designer, and would thereafter devote himself to supporting Slavic culture through his own art.

07/19/2023

From his earliest days as an architect and designer, Hector Guimard believed in branding and self-promotion. First, he called himself "architecte d'art" to distinguish his creative ambitions from purely commercial architecture. But that quickly changed when he adapted "le style Guimard" as his literal calling card. In 1903, he created a series of 24 postcards, including this one, which shows him at his office at Castel Béranger. His branding is visible in the upper left corner in red. The image is a canny one-- it shows him at work, with pencil in hand, in his beautiful environment. It was a chance for viewers (and future clients) to have a direct line into his practice and his imagination.

2023 marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of the iconic French author, Colette (1873-1954). Groundbreaking, feminist, sometimes scandalous, Colette’s confessional novellas captured vividly the inner lives of women of all ages in Belle Époque Paris. This summer, as part of our exhibition, Hector Guimard: Art Nouveau to Modernism, we are hosting our first outdoor film and lecture series inspired by Colette’s work.

The film will be introduced by Northwestern University Professor Sarah Maza, who will set the context for the film with a primer on the visuals, narrative, as well as issues of gender and sexuality in turn of the century Paris. There will be a brief Q&A after the film.

There are just a few tickets left!

“It will be necessary for us to make of our whole life a work of art” – Adeline Guimard

The American-born Adeline Guimard (1872-1965) began life as Adeline Oppenheim. She moved to Paris to study art and there, at age 37, met her future husband. They married in 1909. Not only did she serve as Hector Guimard’s artistic muse, she actively participated in helping him expand his creative range. Together they designed their home as a stylish residence named the Hotel Guimard, where even the smallest of details were considered in creating a "total work of art.” Adeline’s paintings were incorporated into the frames her husband designed.

Adeline was also a savvy marketer and promoter, and it’s why so much of Hector Guimard’s work lives on today. After her husband’s death, she donated much of his work to American museums, ensuring that his work would be preserved and his legacy as the foremost Art Nouveau architect and designer would endure.

See the results of their fruitful collaboration at Hector Guimard: Art Nouveau to Modernism. More information 👇https://driehausmuseum.org/exhibitions

Sure, NASCARChicago, you’ve got your 670 horsepower race cars but what about this 70 horsepower, six cylinder Pierce-Arrow Model 80 Runabout from 1927? This car may be better for meandering rather than racing around Grant Park but it bested even the newest of Ford's Model As back then, which had only 40 horsepower.

One of the 3 famous “P” cars (including Packard and Peerless), the Pierce-Arrow was conservatively designed with nothing compromised in construction. The framing was made from northern white ash that was cured over two years and kiln dried—and then covered with an aluminum body. Like today’s race cars, riding an Arrow-Pierce was a
cozy experience, but always luxurious.

CHICAGO | Fri. June 24 - Chicagoans! Come join us at The Richard H. Driehaus Museum for a tour of 'Theodora Allen: Saturnine,' with Executive Director Anna Musci and the exhibition's curator, Stephanie Cristello.

The exhibition marks the latest iteration of the Museum’s newest initiative: A Tale of Today, which features work by leading contemporary artists to expand the immersive experience and to shape our understanding of the world through the art, architecture, design, and cultural history of the Nickerson Mansion, the Museum’s home. Curated by Stephanie Cristello, 'Theodora Allen: Saturnine' derives its title from figure of Saturn and its historical association with melancholy, often referred to as the curse of artists. Visitors to the Museum will see Allen’s luminous and meditative compositions, filled with a lexicon of snakes, planets, moons, and plant life – motifs that draw from ancient Greek mythology, literature, fin-de-siùcle Europe, and the zeitgeist of 1960s California.
