A cultural movement in art, architecture and applied and decorative arts that sought to modernise design and free it from the hierarchy of art and craft. It flourished in Europe and the United States between 1890 and 1910 and was characterised by the use of long, curving, organic lines and muted colours. From the French, meaning “new art.”
