The terrifying and edible beauty of Art Nouveau architecture

Summary

This quote suggests that Art Nouveau architecture possesses two contrasting qualities: terror and edibility. It implies that there is a certain fascination and fear in encountering this style of architecture, but at the same time, it can be alluring and aesthetically pleasing. Art Nouveau, with its intricate designs and natural motifs, often invokes a sense of wonder and enchantment. However, this quote also hints at the idea that despite its appeal, there may be an element of the unknown or untamed, making it simultaneously awe-inspiring and unsettling.
