it means new art
Art Nouveau was an international design movement that emerged and touched all of the design arts-architecture, fashion, furniture, graphic, and product design-during the 1890s and the early 20th century. Its defining characteristic was a sinuous curvilinear line. Art Nouveau graphic designs often utilized stylized abstract shapes, contoured lines, and flat space inspired by Japanese...
I believe it was Art Nouveau.
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."
Klimt was a proponent of art nouveau.
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.
Art Nouveau was a design trend that was born of the Arts and Crafts movement but was very much influenced by Japanese woodcuts and prints.
why not?, it was a lovely period... if your refering to the name it means "new art" which at the time it was, its curvilinear nature inspired designs being the opposite of what came before it.

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.

The movement is known as Art Nouveau or new art
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.
Art Nouveau ended when the 20th-century modernists replaced it with newer styles. Although Art Nouveau never officially ended, it is now considered an important movement between historicism of neoclassicism and modernism.
