Art Nouveau
Art Nouveau was a decorative style that flourished in the era between (1890-1910). Meaning in French; "New art". Its main characteristics consisted of organic-like linear movements and delicate form that made no consideration for roots or gravity. Art Nouveau was thought to have adapted its qualities from subtle shapes such as lilies, peacocks and the female human body. The idea of it was to try and harmonize human-made art with nature. Two-dimensional Art Nouveau pieces were painted, drawn, and printed in popular forms such as advertisements, posters, labels, magazines, and the like. Japanese wood-block prints, with their curved lines, patterned surfaces, contrasting voids, and flatness of visual plane, also inspired Art Nouveau. Some line and curve patterns became graphic clichés that were later found in works of artists from many parts of the world.
Art Nouveau names differed in every language, In Czech, Art Nouveau is known as "Secese", a name adopted from the Austrian term "Secessionism".Art Nouveau is usually known as "Jugendstil" in Germany, as "Modern" (Модерн) in Russia, as "Modernisme" in Catalonia (Spain). and as "Stile Liberty" in Italy.
Although the art nouveau movement didn't last for long and has been replaced by many twentieth century modernist movements, but it has had a major influence on design and art in general. For it was a transitional phase into innovation and modernity. Artists took a new turn into creation of new forms and ideas; they took liberty into discovering a new style that coexisted with their life then. And spoke for the present. Throughout almost the entire ninetieth century design hasn't taken a new turn. Designers have always recreated what they have known from the past, but with the art Nouveau movement, design had taken a new identity, a modern one. Art Nouveau designers selected and 'modernised' some of the more abstract elements of Rococo style, such as flame and shell textures, they also advocated the use
