Art NouveauAn ornamental style of art that flourished between about 1890 and 1910 throughout Europe and the United States, Art Nouveau is characterized by its use of a long, flowing lines. The style was employed most often in architecture, interior design, jewelry, glass design, posters, and illustration. It was a deliberate attempt to create a new style, free of the imitative historicism that dominated much of 19th-century art and design. Art Nouveau developed first in England and soon spread to the European continent.

Louis Comfort Tiffany
Born in New York City in 1848, Louis Tiffany was a painter, designer and world-famous glass maker. The son of famed jeweler and Tiffany & Co. founder Charles Tiffany, he began experimenting with stained glass in 1875, and co-founded a glass-making company in New York City in 1878. When disagreements between Tiffany and his partners caused the business to close in the mid-1880s, Tiffany started his own firm (later named Tiffany Studios). In the early 1890s, he created a type of glass known for its iridescent coloring, called "Favrile," helping him secure his status as a world leader in glass production. He died in New York City in 1933.
Birds were a common theme.
Flowers were another major theme.
