François-Rupert Carabin, perhaps the most brilliant sculptor in wood of the Art Nouveau era, was also an accomplished photographer, metal-maker, and designer of ceramics. He was regularly invited to the Vienna Secession. Carabin’s work exemplified the Pantheist spirit in Art Nouveau, a movement that emphasized a return to unconventional, realistic depiction of nature, often conveying a sense of awe and fear.
