    Art Nouveau originated in Belgium in 1892 and spread to France and the rest of Europe. The term "Art Nouveau" was coined to describe the work of Belgian artists group Les Vingt. In Paris, a German art dealer named his gallery L'Art Nouveau, helping popularize the style. Known as Jugendstil in Germany, Art Nouveau had two phases - an early floral motif inspired by English Art Nouveau and Japanese prints, and a later abstract phase influenced by the work of Belgian architect Henry van de Velde. Key characteristics of Art Nouveau included asymmetric shapes, curved forms, glass and surfaces, and plant-like decorations.
