*** About Art Nouveau Architecture: Art Nouveau is a style of decorative art, architecture, and design prominent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in Europe and the United States. It is characterized by its use of long, sinuous, organic lines, and was employed to emphasize the natural form in everything from architecture and furniture to jewelry and glass design. This design philosophy celebrates the beauty of natural forms and structures, often incorporating floral patterns, curves that mimic the shapes of plants and flowers, and dynamic lines that flow seamlessly from one element to another. This art style aims to harmonize with the natural environment, integrating artistic expressions with functional forms.
