Allow me to concentrate on the Art Nouveau section of your question. Art Nouveau and Art Deco are design styles that affected public and private life of citizens in Europe and North America before World War I and during World War II. Art Nouveau was a special design movement because it ditched the snobbery of keeping fine arts and applied arts separate. For instance, architecture, furniture, graphic design, painting and textiles were kept apart as two different spheres.

William Morris influenced these jewelry-makers, architects and furniture artisans to showcase handcrafted work.
