Art Nouveau Style Armoire Historical Design Inspiration

The Maison de l'Art Nouveau gallery of Siegfried Bing (1895)

Art Nouveau is an international style of art, architecture and applied art, especially the decorative arts, that was most popular between 1890 and 1910. A reaction to the academic art of the 19th century, it was inspired by natural forms and structures, particularly the curved lines of plants and flowers. English uses the French name Art Nouveau (new art).

Art Nouveau is a total art style: It embraces a wide range of fine and decorative arts, including architecture, painting, graphic art, interior design, jewelry, furniture, textiles, ceramics, glass art, and metal work.

Art Nouveau was born from the resistance of William Morris, founder of the Arts and Crafts Movement, to move away from the cluttered compositions and the 19th-century Gothic revival tendencies in design. Around the same time the use of organic forms and reference to the natural world in Japanese art has a strong effect on the formulation of the Art Nouveau movement and was adopted by artists like James Abbott McNeill Whistler and Emile Gallé. The use of hyperbolas and parabolas in architecture became common in windows, arches, and doors, where decorative moldings gave the appearance of "growing" in a plant formation.
