ЛИНИЯ КАК ОРНАМЕНТАЛЬНАЯ МАТРИЦА ГОЛЛАНДСКОГО МОДЕРНА: ЯН ТООРОП И ЯН ТОРН-ПРИККЕР
This article examines the line as a means of artistic expression in the Dutch variant
of Art Nouvea. Inspired by natural motifs, techniques of the English, French and Belgian
schools, as well as Egyptian and Indonesian aesthetics, the line marked a break with traditional
forms and an exit to abstract art. The aim of this article is to analyze the pictorial and graphic
works of Jan Toorop and Jan Thorn-Prikker. Particular attention will be paid to how a pictorial
motif develops into ornamentation. The author of the article uses the approach to the theory of
ornament by Alois Riegle as a methodological tool. The theoretical works of Humbert de
Superville and Johannes Vloten on the problem of the relationship between line and image are
considered as part of the analysis. The relevance of the article is due to the insufficient study of
Dutch Art Nouveau morphology.
