What was fresh, modern and ground-breaking in the decades between 1890 and 1910? Art nouveau architecture is a diverse subject, with a plethora of different names from across the globe. But no matter what it is called, it always strives to be different. Defining a movement that consciously opposes tradition is difficult; art nouveau rejects categorisation with its relentless modernity.
