The Decorative art movement is a style of art that emerged in the late 19th century. It was a reaction to the academic art of the time, which was seen as overly formal and rigid. Decorative art was characterized by its use of bright colours, intricate patterns, and a focus on the beauty of everyday objects. It was a popular style among the middle and upper classes, who appreciated its decorative qualities.
The Decorative art movement was heavily influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, which sought to create art that was accessible to everyone. This led to the development of a variety of styles, including Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and the Vienna Secession. These styles were often inspired by nature, and featured motifs such as flowers, birds, and animals. They also incorporated elements of traditional folk art, such as embroidery and wood carving.
The Decorative art movement was a major influence on the development of modern art. Many of the leading figures of the modernist movement, such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, were inspired by the bold colours and patterns of Decorative art. Today, art prints of Decorative art are widely available, allowing people to enjoy the beauty of this style in their own homes.
