Abstract: Previous research has rarely looked at the combination between aesthetics and (de)legitimation. Herein, we examine the interactions between these elements in the light of the rise and fall of an art style - Art Nouveau. We employed aesthetic inquiry as a data analysis method, in order to explore how (de)legitimation happens through aesthetic issues. Our results present that legitimation and delegitimation can be considered as parts of the same continuum through the eyes of aesthetics, and that the delegitimation of aesthetic characteristics find its roots in their very legitimization. This paper suggests contributing to (de)legitimation literature through the aesthetic approach.
