Art Nouveau was a style of decoration popular in the 1890's and 1900's lasting until War broke out in Europe in 1914.
Art Nouveau glass was made by many great artists, including Emile Galle, Louis C. Tiffany, the Daum brothers at Daum Nancy, Muller Freres, Loetz, and the Powells at Whitefriars(amongst others).
Art Nouveau was in part a reaction to the Victorian passion for imitating earlier styles like Classical and Renaissance, Baroque and Rococco styles.
