"Franz Hauer, 1913" by Oskar Kokoschka. The subject was an important art collector in Vienna and owned seven of Kokoschka's paintings.

=Art Nouveau=



Many people recognize art nouveau as an architectural movement rather than a broader artistic style, most likely because the architecture is so striking! This is a picture of the "domed building" in the central railway station in Antwerp, Belgium, which was constructed between 1895 and 1905 and designed by Louis Delacenserie and Clement Van Bogaert. The station still exists today, but has been expanded to accommodate high-speed trains in 2009. Fortunately, the restoration of this historic entrance was part of the project.



The lighting in this picture allows you to see the intricacy of the design better. It remains one of Antwerp's main landmarks.

Also, a pretty famous flash mob was staged here back in 2009. You can see the video here: []
