Art nouveau grows around Europe from 1880s, It was a universal style intended to
unify the fine and applied arts to create a Gesamtkunstwerk ('total work of art)

The term Art Nouveau first appeared in the Belgian journal L’Art Moderne in 1884,
referring to a group of reform-minded sculptors, designers and painters called Les
XX (or Les Vingts), whose founder members included James Ensor (1860-1949) and Théo
van Rysselberghe (1862-1926).
the Art Nouveau period that aesthetic values
should be combined with high standards of
craftsmanship, and that works of art should
be both beautiful and functional.

The boundaries between fine art and the

applied arts became blurred in the fields of
furniture design, silverware, and
architecture, paintings, graphic art, jewelry,
fashion, and glassware.
Art Nouveau was a popular art movement that emerged in the late 19th
century and flourished until the beginning of World War I. It was
characterized by its ornate, organic forms and its use of new materials,
such as cast iron and glass. The term "Art Nouveau" is French for "new
art," and it was known by different names in different countries.
It was a deliberate attempt to create a new style, free of the imitative
historicism that dominated much of 19th-century art and design. About
this time the term Art Nouveau was coined, in Belgium by the periodical
L’Art Moderne to describe the work of the artist group Les Vingt and in
Paris by S. Bing, who named his gallery L’Art Nouveau. The style was called
Jugendstil in Germany, Sezessionstil in Austria, Stile Floreale (or Stile
Liberty) in Italy, and Modernismo (or Modernista) in Spain.
