***About Art Nouveau: Art Nouveau is an international style of art, architecture, and applied art, particularly the decorative arts. It was most popular between 1890 and 1910 during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Characterized by its use of long, sinuous, organic lines, it was employed most often in architecture, interior design, jewelry and glass design, posters, and illustration. This movement sought to break down the traditional distinctions between fine arts (especially painting and sculpture) and applied arts. It is considered a "total" art style, embracing architecture, graphic art, interior design, and most of the decorative arts including jewelry, furniture, textiles, household silver and other utensils, and lighting, as well as the fine arts.
