Art Nouveau Art Nouveau was an art movement from 1880s to 1910s. Art Nouveau was a way of thinking about modern society and new production methods. It was an attempt to redefine the meaning and nature of the work of art. This approach was considered completely new and revolutionary, thus the New Art - Art Nouveau name.

Advertising posters were welcomed into art.

Because of typical flat, decorative patterns used in all art forms, Art Nouveau obtained a nickname 'the noodle style‘ Principal subjects are lavish birds and flowers, insects, and women.

Toulouse- Lautrec Unknown at the time, Henri suffered from a genetic condition that prevented his bones from healing properly. Both legs ceased to grow, while the rest of his body continued to grow normally.

His stunted physique earned him laughs and scorn, and kept him from experiencing many of the physical pleasures offered in Montmartre, a sorrow that he drowned in alcohol.
