Art Nouveau manifesto

The Art Nouveau manifesto was a declaration that promoted a new, innovative style in art and design, emphasizing creativity, craftsmanship, and the integration of natural forms. It rejected traditional academic standards, encouraging artists to forge a personal and decorative approach inspired by organic shapes, flowing lines, and botanical motifs. The movement aimed to unify all artistic disciplines—architecture, furniture, jewelry, and graphic design—creating harmony and beauty in everyday objects. Essentially, it championed originality and the belief that art should be accessible, inspired by nature, and reflect modern life’s aesthetic ideals.
