I am not an art aficionado or expert; and know very little about art history or art movements. I just know artwork that I like and I like art nouveau. More specifically, I like vintage art nouveau (example in image below). One of my sons went into business with his friends. He prefers art deco.
Hmmm?? Art Nouveau. Art Deco. Do you know the difference?
Here is an explanation that I looked up.
“Art Nouveau and Art Deco are two of the defining art movements of the 20th century. … Where Art Nouveau celebrates elegant curves and long lines, Art Deco consists of sharp angles and geometrical shapes. Although often confused, the two movements mark entirely different directions in the development of modern art. ...”

OK. Even after I learned the difference, my preference for art nouveau remains unchanged. I happen to like elegance and curves.
