Art Nouveau Art Nouveau (new art from French) is a style of decorative art, architecture and design prominent in western Europe and USA from about 1890 until the First World War This art is inspired by natural form and structures (flowers, plants, curved lines). Art Nouveau can be considered as a total art style because it include architecture, graphic art, interior design, decorative arts, fine arts, furniture, glassware, jewelry, metalwork and textile. The unique place of Art Nouveau is flat, decorative patterns, use of new materials, intertwined organic form, and rejection of earlier styles. As Art Nouveau went through many phases it has many name Nieuwe Kunst (Netherland), Jugendstil (Germany), Arte Joven (Spain), Secession (Austria), Stile Liberty (Italy). Architecture The buildings of Art Nouveau have many features include curved glass, curving plant-like embellishments, mosaics, stained glass and asymmetrical shapes. Art Nouveau is divided into two - Organic (a floral approach focusing on organic plant forms) and Rationalist ( an abstract, structural style with a strong symbolic and dynamic tendency) by Pierre Francastel. Fine art and graphics The style was the first major artistic stylistic movement in which mass- produced graphics played a key role often techniques of color printing developed relatively recently.
