Art Nouveau appeared in the beginning of 20th century. It can be easy to recognize by the design style is curvy lines, sinuous, flowers, leaves, parquetry... Some artist said Art Nouveau took its inspiration from women. Actually, it is reflected by highly-stylized, undulating, dynamic, and flowing, with curved 'whiplash' lines of syncopated rhythm. Another feature is the use of hyperbolas and parabolas. Art Nouveau has a distinctive visual look. Art Nouveau is considered a 'total' style, meaning that it includes in many aspects — architecture; interior design; decorative arts including jewelry, furniture, textiles, household silver and other utensils, and lighting; and the range of visual arts. Art Nouveau borrowed motifs from Japanese wood prints, a Japanese interior design which had an angular, linear look, combining the grids and parallel lines.
