Art Nouveau (French for "new art") is an art and design style that peaked in popularity at the beginning of the 20th century in Europe and the United States. Unlike most art movements, Art Nouveau bridges the divide between fine art and applied art (illustration, decorative arts, crafts and architecture).
Dancel (1898) by Alfons Mucha with its strong, flowing, organic lines, is typical of the style.
