Born in France in the early 1890s, the Art Nouveau movement advocated the aestheticism of the curved line. In the 1920s, it was succeeded by the more geometric lines of Art Deco style. Art Nouveau intended to break with the past and based its work on the three F: Feminity, Flora, and Fauna. The stylistic revolution was first submitted to the eyes of the Parisians through the subway entrances designed by Hector Guimard. The World Exposition of 1900 in Paris achieved to install Art Nouveau as the in vogue style, with artists such as Lalique, Daum, Gallet, and Majorelle. In 1901, the Provincial Alliance of Arts Industries, or School of Nancy, was created as the spearhead of Art Nouveau in France.
