Siegfried Bing was an innovative art collector, but also an inspired and visionary art dealer. In 1854 he came to Paris and showed a strong interest in ceramics. In 1870’s Japanese art was a new wave of inspiration to other countries. It holds an overwhelming sensation of color and simplistic nature. Like Bing I too was inspired by Japanese artwork. Later on Bing stayed in Japan for a year collecting all things beautiful. He was the founder of 1895 “La Maison de I’Art Nouveau in Paris France. This was an art gallery and exhibition hall that gave its name to the famous artistic style Art Nouveau.
In 1895 he opened his business and company called La Maison Bing. He wanted to show and defend the applied and decorative arts and he started exhibiting the avant-garde work by contemporary artisits such as Claudel, Khnopff,Munch,Tiffany, Toulouse-Lautrec, Vallotton, and Vuillard.
Bing died on September 7.
Personally I think Bing was very smart not only being a collector of beautiful arts but allowing himself to play the role as a ringleader. Like a spider in a web he made connections and reached out to other artists. I try to apply the same information to my other major. In advertising it is always so very important to make and keep connections as well.
