Art Nouveau

Here is a beautiful example of Art Nouveau. Art Nouveau began in the 1890's and the tagline for the art movement was "Art for all, and Art everywhere." In this movement art took on the forms of living things, plants, nature and the female body. It is not that art created was earthy instead the art have curvalinear forms like those occuring in nature. Enjoy!
