Art Nouveau
Art Nouveau was an international style of art, architecture, and applied art that flourished from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, particularly in Europe and the United States. This ornamental art style is characterized by long, sinuous lines and organic forms, often taking inspiration from the natural curves of plants and flowers.
The goal of Art Nouveau was to modernize design, breaking away from the eclectic historical styles that had dominated previously. Artists and designers integrated both organic and geometric forms, creating elegant and flowing designs that mirrored natural growth patterns. Notable works in this style include the entrances to the Paris Metro, Tiffany glass, and the illustrations of Aubrey Beardsley, all embodying the movement's spirit and aesthetic.
Art Nouveau pieces are still widely appreciated and maintained, with their timeless beauty continuing to captivate collectors, auctioneers, and art and antique experts around the world.
