Viennese Art Nouveau movement

Viennese Art Nouveau, also known as Secession, was an elegant artistic movement from Vienna around the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It emphasized innovative design, flowing lines, and organic shapes inspired by nature, creating a departure from traditional styles. Artists and architects sought to unify art and craftsmanship, producing artistic furniture, posters, jewelry, and architecture with intricate details and harmonious forms. Notable figures like Gustav Klimt exemplified its aesthetic, blending decorative arts with bold, symbolic imagery. The movement aimed to elevate everyday objects into works of art, fostering a modern, sophisticated cultural identity in Vienna and influencing future design trends.
