Art Nouveau, an artistic and philosophical movement that swept across Europe and the United States from the late 19th century into the early 20th, was more than just a style; it was a Gesamtkunstwerk, a total work of art. It sought to synthesize all art forms into a unified aesthetic expression. Within this all-encompassing vision, music and poetry were not mere adjuncts but integral components, entwined with the visual and decorative arts to create immersive, emotionally resonant experiences. This exploration delves into the confluence of art, music, and poetry within the Art Nouveau ethos, demonstrating how these disciplines enriched and amplified each other, reflecting the movement's core ideals of organicism, dynamism, and emotional expression.
