A style of decorative art, architecture, and design. Prominent in western Europe and the USA from about 1890 until the First World War and characterized by intricate linear designs and flowing curves based on natural forms. Art Nouveau is the desire to abandon the historical styles of the 19th century which was an important stimulus behind Art Nouveau and one that establishes the movement's modernism. 
An important art piece of Art
Nouveau is the Entrance Gate

that are so typical of the Art Nouveau
style.
