Art Deco

what do the terms Art Nouveau and Art Deco refer to?
And when and where did they originate, i would be very grateful if anyone could help!
Art Nouveau (it means “new art,” but you probably figured that out) reigned from roughly 1880 until just before World War I. Art Nouveau embraced Europe’s new industrial aesthetic rather than challenging it. It features naturalistic but stylized forms, often combined with more geometric shapes, particularly arcs, parabolas, and semicircles (think of the paintings of Gustav Klimt, or the arches of the Eiffel Tower). The movement brought in natural forms that had often been overlooked like insects, weeds, even mythical faeries, as evidenced by Lalique jewelry or Tiffany lamps. The black and gold Kate Winslet doffs in the erotic portrait session scene in Titanic is quintessentially Art Nouveau.
Art Deco, on the other hand, emerged after World War I. In fact, the deprivations of the Great War years gave way to a whole new opulence and extravagance that defined the Jazz Age and the Art Deco aesthetic. The movement, prevalent from the 1920s until roughly the start of World War II, took its name from the 1925 Exposition Internationales des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (say that ten times, fast), held in France and is characterized by streamlined and geometric shapes. It also utilized modern materials like chrome, stainless steel, and inlaid wood. If Art Deco dabbled with natural materials, they tended to be graphic or textural, like zebra skin or jagged fern leaves. As a result, Deco featured bold shapes like sunbursts and zigzags and broad curves. In fact, if you check out the spire of the Chrysler Building, the hotels of Miami’s South Beach, or the “coffin nose” oif a 1935 Cord Model 810, you’ll be staring at the very definition of Deco.
