Bieres de la Meuse Postcard Art Nouveau is an international philosophy of style, art, architecture and applied art—especially the decorative arts—that were most popular during 1890–1905.
A reaction to academic art of the 19th century, it is characterised by organic - especially floral and other plant-inspired motifs, as well as very stylised, flowing curvilinear forms.
Art Nouveau is a philosophy of design according to which artists should work on everything from architecture to furniture, making art part of ordinary life.
The style was influenced strongly by Czech artist Alphonse Mucha, when Mucha produced a lithographed poster, which appeared on 1 January 1895 in the streets of Paris as an advertisement for the play Gismonda by Victorien Sardou, featuring Sarah Bernhardt.
It popularised the new artistic style and its creator to the citizens of Paris. Initially named Style Mucha, (Mucha Style), his style soon became known as Art Nouveau.
Art Nouveau was most popular in Europe and the British Isles, but its influence was global.
