Art Nouveau


Art Nouveau Movement swept through the decorative arts and architecture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The movement came from certain artists desire to abandon the historical styles of the 19th century. Art Nouveau was part of the bigger Art movement, modernism. The movement took inspiration from what artists saw around them in particular the natural world. there was outrage; people either loved it or hated it. Within the style itself there are two distinct looks which were curvy lines and the more linear look. Some aspects of art nouveau were revived again in the 1960s.
