This study analyzes the influence of the social and cultural background of Art Nouveau on the costumes, architecture, and crafts in the period drama ‘Crimson Peak’. This research method captures images of women’s costumes, architecture, and crafts in the ‘Crimson Peak’ and selects and analyzes those with a clear Art Nouveau influence. Edith’s costumes are characterized by the Art Nouveau style that emerged in the 1890s, with an hourglass silhouette, pastel colors, soft materials, and organic curved embellishments. Lucille’s costumes show characteristics that were prevalent before the 1890s, using bustles, strong colors, and elaborate ornamentation. The architecture is characterized by gothic vertical lines and organic curves, naturalistic patterns featuring animals and plants, and steel and glass materials. The crafts of ‘Crimson Peak’ are characterized by flexible shapes with strong, organic curves. These costumes, architecture, and crafts share formal elements including waving, twisting, and organic curves and plant-shaped motifs. The influence of social and cultural background of the age of Art Nouveau expressed in movies on formative arts was examined as impressionism appeared in costumes made of pastel colors, thin and see-through materials, medieval Gothic historicism expressed in structures composed of vertical design and religious relief ornament, exoticism appeared in Chinese vase and Japanese-patterned tea sets, naturalism with an animal plant motif and phenomenon of active social activities of progressive women through women’s clothing that elements of men’s costume are introduced. This study will provide data for the production of period dramas set at the end of the 19th century.

아르누보는 식물 등의 자연 형태를 모티브로 한 곡선을 많이 사용하고 반드시 기능성과 합리성에 따른 형태를 받아들이지 않은 것이 많았다. 그러므로 아르누보는 미술과 공예운동 같은 양식주의 또는 역사주의와 근대에서 현대에 이르기까지 가구디자인의 주류를 이룬 기능주의 사이에 위치한 과도기 양식으로서 기계의 유용성을 긍정한 점이 주목할 만하다. 아르누보 양식의 특성을 연구하기 위해 주요 건축가들의 문헌을 분석하는 것으로 접근하였다. 이 연구는 아르누보의 근원 및 생성을 다룬다. 또한, 반 데 벨데, 오르타, 기마르, 가우디, 맥킨토시 등의 아르누보의 대표적이자 제일 활발했던 건축가들의 예술작품들을 분석하였다.
