Art Nouveau is the concept used to designate a movement of artistic renewal that took place from the late 19th to the early 20th century. Its main aim was to create a young and new art, freer and more modern, a break with the academicism prevailing at the time. To this end, it drew inspiration from nature, while also incorporating the innovations brought by the Industrial Revolution, especially new materials and techniques (steel, glass…). All of this is summarized by a statement that could be understood as the movement’s motto: the awareness that “the future has already begun.” It sought to integrate art into daily life, breaking with historical styles. It is characterized by sinuous lines, nature-inspired forms such as flowers, stems or insects, and an organic design that conveys fluidity and elegance. Its development was international, with variants such as German Jugendstil or Catalan Modernisme, although its origin lies in Belgium.
