art nouveau

An art movement popular during the late 19th and early 20th century that combined fine art, graphic and industrial design. Although Art Nouveau was not a single style, Le Style Mucha (The style of (Alphonse) Mucha), as characterized by bold lines, flat, rich colors, flowing curves and ornate circular patterns and borders is often considered the quintessential style of the movement.

The German version of Art Nouveau goes by "Jugend", german for "youth". In Sweden this is also the predominant term. Art Nouveau differs in style from country to country.
