Art Nouveau is an international philosophy and style of art, architecture and applied art – especially the decorative arts – that was most popular during 1890–1910. Its inspiration came from natural forms and structures, not only in flowers and plants but also in curved lines. Art Nouveau’s identifying features was it’s organic, plantlike lines. It shied away from the rules of gravity. It had a “whiplash” energy and elegantly defined and decorated the given space. Vine tendrils, flowers (such as the rose and lily), birds (particularly peacocks), and the human female form were frequent motifs from which this fluid line was adapted. The term art nouveau came about in a Paris gallery run by art dealer Samuel bing. It opened in 1895 and was known as the Salon de l’Art Nouveau. Not only was Japanese art shown, but also European and American art was displayed and sold.
