"Art Nouveau is an international style of ornamental art that characterised architecture, fine arts, and especially decorative arts in Europe and the United States at the turn of the 20th century. The term 'Art Nouveau' (literally 'New Art') was first used in 1884 in Belgium, but the movement was known by many different names depending on the country: Jugendstil in Germany, Vienna Secession in Austria, Glasgow Style in Scotland, Arte Nuova or Stile Liberty in Italy, and Belle Époque in France. Artists of Art Nouveau believed that all arts should be united, which gave rise to a unifying movement that encompassed many different artistic forms and fields. Aiming to modernise art and design, artists drew inspiration from organic and natural forms, resulting in elegant designs with sinuous and asymmetrical curves and lines."
