*** About Art Nouveau: Originating in the late 19th century, Art Nouveau is renowned for its organic forms, curved lines, and intricate patterns inspired by the natural world. Emphasizing craftsmanship and decoration, this style permeates various mediums, from architecture to the graphic arts. It represents a deliberate rebellion against the rigid conventions of academic art and embraces a philosophy that art should be a way of living, accessible to all and integrated into the everyday. Art Nouveau artists often sought to harmonize with the natural environment, drawing inspiration from floral motifs, sinuous vines, and flowing water, transforming these elements into a visually cohesive and stylistically revolutionary aesthetic.
