幾個重點跟大家分享一下：

1. Art Nouveu:

1890s, 此時正值  the early years of industrialization.
西方社會改變的速度遠大於從前，
時下的藝術家想 break free from these past conventions. They wanted to make art that was more appropriate to modern life, to the world they lived in. 
當時流行的藝術風格是Neoclassical, 但是它severe, unemotional, and rigid.
Art Nouveau  想改變此風格，他們繪畫的主題多半是大自然，像 a flower, vines with graceful curling lines等等。

2. Impressionism

印象派這個字其實來自Monet 的 Impression: Sunrise
The name of the style derives from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satirical review published in the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari.

特色：
借助光與色的變幻來表現畫家在瞬間之際所捕捉到的印象
Impressionist painting characteristics include relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles
