The Art Nouveau style was especially popular during the period of 1890-1910 and celebrated curved lines, flowers, and plants, while also reacting against the typical historicizing Victorian taste of the time. No art form embraced the style more than the decorative arts. Assistant curator Adrienne Gennett will guide visitors through the history and aesthetic of the Art Nouveau movement.

Gennett will illustrate the history and aesthetic of the Art Nouveau movement through examination of objects by Louis Comfort Tiffany, Emile Galle, and many other artists included in the exhibition Challenging Taste: Art Nouveau in the Decorative Arts.
