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 Deco was a modernization of many different artistic styles and themes from the past. It borrows from Far and Middle East design, Greek and Roman themes, and also Egyptian and Mayan influence. Emphasizing abstraction, distortion, and simplification by use of geometric shapes and intense colors, the movement derived these characteristics from the avant-garde painting styles of the early twentieth century, including Cubism, Constructivism, and Italian Futurism. Similar to the Art Nouveau and Precisionist movements of the same time period, Art Deco is distinguished by a more modern look.Art Deco is an eclectic artistic and design style which had its origins in Paris in the first decades of the 20th century.Art Deco moved away from the soft pastels and organic forms of Art Nouveau and embraced influences from many different styles and movements of the early 20th century, including Neoclassical, Constructivism, Cubism, Modernism, and Futurism. Its popularity peaked in Europe during the Roaring Twenties and continued strongly in the United States through the 1930s.The structure of Art Deco is based on mathematical geometric shapes. Art Deco is characterized by use of materials such as aluminium, stainless steel, lacquer, Bakelite, Chrome and inlaid wood. The United States has fine examples of art-deco architecture. New York, Chicago, and Detroit have a great many deco buildings: the famous skyscrapers are the best known, but notable deco buildings can be found in various neighborhoods. Detroit's many examples of art-deco architecture include the Fisher and Guardian Buildings both of which are National Historic Landmarks. Los Angeles, California, is also rich in art-deco architecture, particularly along Wilshire Boulevard, a main thoroughfare that experienced a building boom in the 1920s. Notable examples include the Bullocks Wilshire and the Pellissier Building and Wiltern Theatre, built in 1929 and 1931 respectively.
