Art Nouveau
French for "new art", Art Nouveau is an international movement and style of art, architecture and applied art - especially the decorative arts - that peaked in popularity at the turn of the 20th century (1890–1905).
Strongly influenced by Czech artist Alphonse Mucha, the new artistic style was initially called the "Style Mucha" but soon became known as Art Nouveau. Mucha's works frequently featured beautiful healthy young women in flowing vaguely Neoclassical looking robes, often surrounded by lush flowers which sometimes formed haloes behind the women's heads.
Resonator Guitar
A resonator guitar is an acoustic guitar that uses one or more metal cones (resonators) instead of a wooden soundboard (guitar top) to produce sound. Resonator guitars were originally designed to be louder than conventional acoustic guitars which were overwhelmed by horns and percussion instruments in dance orchestras. They became prized for their distinctive sound, however, and found life with several musical styles (most notably bluegrass and also blues) well after electric guitars were introduced.
