what is art deco and nouveau?

Answer 1

Art nouveau consists of natural forms and flowing lines. It attempted to show more of the cultural 'identity' of artists/designers/craftsmen in the late 19th century until 1914. Other than that it doesn't follow strict guidlines.

After the first world war, art nouveau was seen as too ornate, and modernist ideas grew in influence. From this came the Art Deco movement, which lasted til the 1930's. It has much simpler lines, and geometric shapes -which developed partly as a result of people wanting to create things that had a more international, universal style.
