  The  essence  of  " ART  NOUVEAU  STYLE  ( - ) is  described  by  NATURALISTIC  SENSUOS  LINES "  derived  from  vegetal  curves  and  willow  leaves , subtle  light , femenine  figures  and  curly  hair , fluent  dresses  and  attitudes  twisting  waves  and  evanescent  smoke , but  also " ART  NOUVEAU "  was  inspired  by  the  idea  of  " TOTAL  ART ".
 
 These  characteristics  are  also  seen  in  the  essence  of  Rococo  Style. Some  critics  interpret  " THE  ART  NOUVEAU  STYLE " as  a  Turn-of-the-Century  reinvention  of  the  Rococo.
 
Naturalism  began  in  the  early  Renaissance  and  developed  itself  further  throughout  the  Renaissance , such  as  with  the  Florentine  School. Naturalism  is  the  generic  term  form  ART  NOUVEAU , organic  architecture  and  expressionism  of  which  styles  overlap  one  another  and  were  often  only  a  stage  in  an  architects  working  span .
 
It  all  started  in    in  England , the  most  industrialized  country  at  the  time ,  where  " WILLIAM  MORRIS "  in  collaboration  with  other  artists , created  the  Arts  and  Crafts  Movement  as  a  reaction  to  the  mid-19th-century  artistic  styles . Following  socialist  ideas ,  they  wanted  and  art  for  everyone ,  all  objects  being  of  beauty  and  of  use  and  had  to  be  handmade.
 
 They  did  not  completely  succeed , as  hand  production  was  too  expensive  for  the  masses  but  schools ,  exhibitions  and  magazines  largely  diffused  those  ideas  and  they  created  a  favourable  environment  for  the  birth  of  ART  NOUVEAU .
 
  Many  Artists  architects ,  designers  and  intellectuals  in  all  forms  of  decorative  and  visual  arts , as  well  as  cultural  and  avant-garde  fields , explored  the  idea  to  create  an  " Art  of  Modern  Life ".
 
 In   ,  greatly  influenced  by  the  ideas  of  MORRIS , a  young  Belgian  architect  VICTOR  HORTA , began  to  plan  the  first  important  house  to  be  built  in  ART  NOUVEAU  STYLE :  la  Maison  Tassel .
 
In    also  in  Brussels , HENRI  VAN  DE  VELDE  published  the  pamphlet  "  Le  Deblaiement  d'Art "  in  which  he  developed  new  and  nearly  revolutionary  ideas  relating  to  fine  arts  and  decorative  arts , whereas  architecture  and  interior  design  had  to  rise  to  the  status  of  a  total  work  of  art . A  year  later  in    in  Paris  the  name  of  the  Movement  ART  NOUVEAU  was  finally  settled  in  the  french  language .  In  particular  because  of  the  art  gallery " La  Maison  de  I'Art  NOUVEAU  which  was  opened  as  a  showroom  for  the  new  Art .
 
Paris  added  also  a  touch  of  glamour  to  Art  Nouveau  with  the " Divine "  SARAH  BERNHARDT  and  her  proteges :  alfons  Mucha  and jewellry  and  perfume  bottles  designer  RENE  LALIQUE  as  well  the  glassware  designer  EMILE  GALLE . At  the  beginning  of  the  new  century  the  expansion  of  art  nouveau  was  massive  in  western  Europe .
 
 The  works  and  aesthetics  of  Artists-Designers  such  as  : GUSTAV  KLIMT , JOSEF  HOFFMAN ,  JOSEPH  MARIA  OLBRICH , ANTONI  GAUDI  I  CORNET ,  OTTO  ECKMANN , PETER  BEHRENS ,  the  originator  of  the  Ornamental  Floreale  Style  GIUSEPPE  SOMMARUGA ,  CARLO  BUGATTI . And  many  others ,  were  broadly   exposed  on  the  international  cultural  scenes  and  their  styles  became  widely  known .
 
  The  ART  NOUVEAU  movement  reached  at  a  later  stage  the  cities  of  CHICAGO , BOSTON  and  NEW  YORK  in  Northern  United  States ,  where  Louis  comfort  TIFFANY  is  considered  the  only  Original  ART  NOUVEAU  artist  in  the  decorative  field  and  LOUIS  SULLIVAN  in  architect  is  considered  the  precursor  of  America's  Greatest  architect  ,  FRANK  LLOYD  WRIGHT.
 
The  first  world  war  ( - )  marked  the  end  of  the  Art  NOUVEAU  STYLE . The  world  had  changed  and  with  it  the  mentalities . The  elegance ,  sensuality , flamboyance  of  ART  NOUVEAU  was  going  to  be  substituted  by  more  rational  styles  as  ART  DECO  and  BAUHAUS  all  influenced  by  one  of  the  major  cultural  and  artistic  movements  of  the  20th-Century .
