from around 1880 to 1915 which developed
differently in many places around the world.

to painting and sculpture but also to
architecture, furniture, jewelry, fabrics, and all
types of materials used for interior and
exterior design. You can even find silverware
done in the Art Nouveau style. One of the

5. The most distinguishing aspect is the overall
look of an Art Nouveau object. Usually it
consists of curvy lines with smooth surfaces.
The object will look as if it has grown from
nature. Often, the artist will use natural
objects for inspiration such as seashells,
flames, trees, flowers, and animals.
