Answer: Art Nouveau

Step-by-step explanation:

This artistic movement took place by the end of the XIX century up to the early XX century before WWI, and it originated as a reaction against the historical traditional art styles that had been popular at the time. The movement seeked to bring a more modern perspective to art and to end the hyerarchy or distinction between what was considered "fine arts" ( painting and sculpture) and "applied arts" (furniture, ornaments, metal work) .
