In 1893, the coming together of curvilinear design, natural forms, and modernity, art nouveau became the style of young designers.
The style is known by different names in different languages: Jugendstil in German, Stile Liberty in Italian, Modernisme in Catalan,
and also known as the Modern Style in English. The new art movement had its roots in Britain, in the floral designs of William Morris,
and in the Arts and Crafts movement founded by the pupils of Morris. The Liberty luxury department store in London played an important
role, through its colourful stylized floral designs for textiles, and the silver, pewter, and jewellery designs of Manxman (of Scottish descent)
Archibald Knox. His jewellery designs in materials and forms broke away entirely from the historical traditions of jewellery design.
It's greatest influence was Art ala Japan. Along with modernity came simplified geometry in design, echoed through Deco, culminating in Bauhaus.

Modern art became the personalized expressions of rebellious spirits, such as Mexican female artist Frida Kahlo

A product of humble beginnings, Frida Kahlo(Hayek) earns fame as a talented artist with a unique vision. And from her enduring
relationship with her mentor and husband, Diego Rivera(Alfred Molina), to her scandalous affairs, Frida's uncompromising personality
would inspire her greatest creations! Also starring Antonia Banderas, Ashley Judd, Edward Norton, and Geoffrey Rush!

The style all but disappears until the music phenomenon of psychedelia with "The Beatles", highly influenced
by the French nouveau poster styles such as the Moulin Rouge of Jules Chéret and the art of Alphonse Mucha.



Beatles (Psychedelic Years)

The psychedelic swing of the 1960s brought back a romantic appreciation for flourish and colour such as once was nouveau.
Music album covers, clothing styles and posters all had a flavour of retro Victorian romanticism.
