Art Nouveau : Artistic movement of the late nineteenth century that renews the architectural and decorative creation, also called modern style. Although it has nuances according to the country, its criteria are common: the Art Nouveau is characterized by inventiveness, the presence of rhythms, colors, ornaments inspired by trees, flowers, insects, animals, and which introduce sensitive in the daily decor.

There are two men whose contribution is so great, that even though there is not a lot of sculpture I feel I have to include them. 

Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Alphonse Mucha have such a great contribution and their designs so perfect.
