It's easy enough to get Art Nouveau and Art Deco confused, probably owing to the fact that they both start with 'art'. But Art Nouveau and Art Deco are actually two very distinct design movements, with very distinct looks, that appeared around the turn of the 20th century. After perusing this brief disambiguation, you may not be an expert on design history — but you can casually drop these two descriptors into conversations, and your friends are sure to be impressed.
Art Nouveau was a design movement that began in Europe around 1890. It was in part a response to styles popular earlier in the 19th century, like Neoclassicism, that heavily referenced historical styles. Art Nouveau designers wanted to create an entirely new design vocabulary appropriate to the modern world. The movement was heavily influenced by the paintings (like the one up top) of Czech artist Alphonse Mucha, so much that it was sometimes called 'Mucha style'.
