Art Nouveau Movement

Art Nouveau was an artistic movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by its use of flowing, organic forms inspired by nature. Designers and artists sought to create harmony between art and everyday life, using decorative elements like intricate patterns, curved lines, and motifs such as flowers and insects. This style influenced various fields, including architecture, graphic design, and furniture. Prominent figures include Gustav Klimt in painting and Antoni Gaudí in architecture. Art Nouveau aimed to break away from traditional styles and embrace modernity, celebrating beauty and craftsmanship in the process.
