Art Nouveau definition and meaning

What is "Art Nouveau"?

Art Nouveau was a decorative art movement that began in the late 19th century, mainly in Europe. It is characterized by its use of flowing, curved, and complex patterns inspired by natural elements like flowers, plants, and insects. Notable artists and designers, such as Gustav Klimt and Antoni Gaudí, used Art Nouveau to create elegant and detailed designs in various fields, including architecture, furniture, and jewelry. The movement aimed to move away from older historical styles and create a new, unified visual language that emphasized beauty and skill.
