Artists by Movement: Art Nouveau
Late 19th Century to Early 20th Century
Art Nouveau is an elegant decorative art style characterized by intricate patterns of curving lines. Its origins somewhat rooted in the British Arts and Crafts Movement of William Morris, Art Nouveau was popular across Europe and in the United States as well.
Leading practitioners included Alphonse Mucha, Aubrey Beardsley, Gustav Klimt and the American glassmaker Louis Comfort Tiffany.
Art Nouveau remained popular until around the time of World War I, and was ultimately replaced by the Art Deco style.
