Art Nouveau

Paris, France gave birth to one of the most exciting periods in the world of art in 1880. Art Nouveau as a movement was the inventive, all encompassing international style that developed simultaneously in many countries. Through the years ending in 1920, artists from Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, England, and the United States transformed the world of advertising into other artistic dimensions.

The term Art Nouveau was used in England and America, Jugendstil in Germany, Le Style Moderne in France, Sezession in Austria, Stile Liberty in Italy, Modernista in Spain, and Paling Stijl in Belgium. The aesthetic of this then avant-garde movement was based on a symbolic organic form that presented itself in a linear, swirling, entwining, rhythmic abstract design.
