Allow me to concentrate on the Art Nouveau section of your question.
Art Nouveau and Art Deco are design styles that affected public and private life of citizens in Europe and North America before World War I and during World War II.
Art Nouveau was a special design movement because it ditched the snobbery of keeping fine arts and applied arts separate. For instance, architecture, furniture, graphic design, painting and textiles were kept apart as two different spheres. However, Art Nouveau giants such as Rene Lalique, Hector Guimard and Arthur Lasenby Liberty were inspired by an earlier movement called Arts and Crafts. William Morris influenced these jewelry-makers, architects and furniture artisans to showcase handcrafted work.
Eugene Alain Seguy was one of the foremost French designers at the beginning of the 20th century. Working in both the Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles .
The term 'Art Deco' came from the name of the 1925 Paris exhibition titled Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes. The most popular and respected French artists of the day displayed their work at this exhibition. Jewelry makers, graphic artists, painters, architects, fashion designers and all other manner of craftsmen showcased their pieces at the exhibition. All of the works had a commonality - they were not only practical, but also very beautiful (i.e. decorative). The term came up again in an article by the architect, Le Corbusier, titled '1925: Arts Déco' and in 1966 at the retrospective exhibition titled Les années '25: Art Deco/Bauhaus/Stijl/Esprit Nouveau. But it wasn't until Bevis Hiller published his book, Art Deco of the 20s and 30s in 1968 that term was used to truly define that style movement. In essence, Art Deco is a modern interpretation of the art movement that preceded it, Art Nouveau.
The Eames era is between 1950-1960. Art Deco had its heyday in the 1930's.

They are two different art styles, with Art Deco evolving partially from Art Nouveau. Here is a good website comparing the two: For Art Nouveau, think of the posters of Mucha, Women in flowing robes and floral ornaments. For Art Deco, think Bauhaus, it's less ornate than Art Nouveau and more simplistic. "The Art Nouveau style appeared in the early 1880s and was gone by the eve of the First World War." "Art Deco was a popular design movement from 1920 until 1939, affecting the decorative arts such as architecture, interior design, and industrial design, as well as the visual arts such as fashion, painting, the graphic arts, and film. This movement was, in a sense, an amalgam of many different styles and movements of the early 20th century, including Constructivism, Cubism, Modernism, Bauhaus, Art Nouveau, and Futurism."

Art Nouveau simply means New Art. However it was a style of decor.
