Is Art Nouveau modern

Answer 1

The Art Nouveau movement was at its peak during the years 1890 - 1910. Since this was over a century ago, it is not what we would consider modern, although it is certainly more modern than Renaissance art, classical art etc.

Answer 2

Art Nouveau is not considered modern in the literal sense as it emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, it was a movement that sought to break away from the traditional art and design styles of the time, so it can be seen as a precursor to modernism in its emphasis on innovation and originality.
