- Influenced by Post-Impressionism, Art
Nouveau, the “New Art” is an artistic style
freed from all illusionist, symbolic or representational
function. A decorative arts movement begun in part as a
revolt against the Machine Age, it reached its height at
the 1900 Paris Exhibition. Art Nouveau's beautiful
organic design is so closely interrelated to the object
that it seems to determine the form. The style effects
architecture, interior design, the graphic and the
ornamental arts, thereby making a strong presence in
modern society. The Art Nouveau spirit was also
identified as the: Arts and Crafts movement, Jugendstil,
Style Moderne, or Stile Liberty, depending on the
geographic location.
