Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A new style of decorative art that predominated much of the Fin de siècle (The Gay '90s and The Edwardian Era), Art Nouveau's style consists of asymmetric and fluid movements, and naturalistic colors and themes. Its style was applied to every field, notably buildings, crafts, paintings, lithographic posters and furniture.
The movement has influences from drawings of plant life, works by Alphonse Mucha, Pre-Raphaelite paintings, Oriental flavours, and the Neoclassical, Romantic, Post-impressionist and Expressionist movements. The style spread throughout Europe, where its mode was dubbed in many languages, typically termed as "new", "modern" or "young" art. In Germany and Northern Europe, it was called the “Jugendstil” (youth style) or "secession". In Catalonia, it was called "Modernisme," and is associated inextricably with the weirdly-skeletal but delightful architecture of Antoni Gaudí. In Italy, it was called the stile Liberty after the British department store Liberty in London, which apparently supplied a lot of the brightly-coloured fabric Italian artists working in the style liked to use.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Whatever its name, Art Nouveau fell out of favour during or before World War I. The exuberant, richly ornamented style seemed wrong somehow after so much death and destruction and the growing anxiety of the Machine Age. However, it influenced Art Deco and other modernist movements. With the advent of Solarpunk however, it is starting to see something of a revival.
This style predominates in much of 1890s-style Steampunk. Note that art movements before 1890 range from Romantic to Impressionist.

The Lakebed Temple of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess draws a lot of inspiration from Catalan Modernism, especially Gaudí's famous trencadis technique. It's noticeably one of the most beautiful temples of the game.

The Witch and the Beast may be predominantly Art Deco in design, but it does also incorporate Art Nouveau in its world building and its panel art. In terms of paneling, the Witch and the Beast always incorporates free-flowing and dynamic line work resembling vines and lions to make a panel resemble a Mucha art piece. Likewise, certain buildings and towns have a naturalistic feeling to them and looks like they came straight out of the 1900s.

Witch Hat Atelier is one of the few manga to utilise this art form as a stylistic choice, making it incredibly unique. From the natural and organic designs of the Great Hall and the rustic atmosphere of the Atelier, to the soft naturalistic colours of the cover art, and the dynamism and free-flowing form of the panelling. Flipping through the series is like having a peak of Mucha's Art Nouveau style in manga format.

Transistor not only takes place in a futuristic Art Nouveau world that mixes a little bit of Tron with a heaping helping of the works of Gustav Klimt, but the protagonist, Red, seems to be a reference to "Red Hilda", a firey-haired model that served as a muse for many of Klimt's paintings.

Arcane contrasts Shining City Piltover with its Under City through architectural styles. The poorer, grittier Undercity (later Zaun) takes a lot from Art Nouveau, with an emphasis on modern materials like metal, prominent arches and spirals, brighter colors, some natural aspects (where it isn't too polluted) and gothic elements like stained glass. However, elements of Art Nouveau still pop up in Piltover; for example, Jayce sits down in front of a Mucha-inspired artwork at one point. In contrast, Piltover uses a lot of Art Deco: clean, defined lines, cubist geometry, and a more unified color palette. Fittingly, Art Deco grew out of Art Nouveau, and this in part emphasizes how Piltover has left its undercity further and further behind.

The front cover to Donovan's album "Sunshine Superman" is an almost note-for-note homage to the style; the squiggly, stylized fonts, the muted pastel color scheme, the abundance of decorative curves, it's all there! The only non-Nouveau element of the color is Donovan's Face on the Cover.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power features several Art Nouveau elements. Disa's dress and hairstyle are inspired by different painting with women of Gustave Klimt. The art style was used for the official posters too. And the Elvish Kingdom of Lindon, has its architecture inspired by the decorative motives with soft whiplash lines, and naturalistic colours, only fitting for a kingdom scattered across a birch Forest of Perpetual Autumn.

A lot of the designs in the early series of Mr Selfridge are classic Art Nouveau. This makes sense, given that Selfridge's was founded during the Edwardian era and featured cutting-edge fashions—which at the time were Art Nouveau.

Sweet Enchantments shows quite a bit of Art Nouveau influence in the designs of the eponymous cafe and the uniforms worn by its staff. The architecture and decor incorporate a lot of nature motifs and fluid lines with few hard angles, as though the building grew into place rather than being manmade.

Final Fantasy VIII leans heavily towards this style in several places: Balamb Town wouldn't be out of place among some Gaudì architectural designs (though admittedly quite tame), its train station has a distinct Belle Époque feel, and even the trains themselves have Nouveau-inspired decorative elements. The nods are mostly noticeable in the Gardens: Balamb Garden is intricately ornate even in some of its more mundane facilities, and some elements are visible even in the much more austere Galbadia Garden, and the ruins of Trabia Garden.

Sailor Moon:
Naoko Takeuchi loves this style and frequently shows up in artworks◊ for the manga. It appears in some parts of the manga as well, as characters or vignettes can be framed in asymmetrical swirls and flowers. This also show ups in the two animated adaptations.
The '90s anime has a notorious nod to the style in the 4th opening (Second opening of the 'R' season), some official artwork also shows the girls framed in artistic rendition of halos◊.
In Sailor Moon Crystal, Nouveau's characteristic ornamentation and pastel color spectrum influence some of the series' decorative elements, like the reverse-painted silhouettes in the Episode Title Card, Eyecatches, and To Be Continued, as well as the rose-heavy Flower Motifs throughout. The To Be Continued card in particular◊ both borrows visual elements from Alphonse Mucha's haloed women, and employs Gratuitous French.

Art Nouveau shows up on occasion in Series 1 of Downton Abbey. While the avant-garde rarely reaches the Yorkshire countryside, we see glimpses in the styles of women's dress and a few magazines. (Subsequent series are set during World War I or the 1920s, so new styles lean towards Art Deco.)
