The V&A Museum has a lot to offer when it comes to Arts and crafts, art deco and art nouvou, so here are some extracts from the website along with the links to the pages...
Arts and Crafts"The Arts and Crafts Movement began in Britain around 1880 and quickly spread to America, Europe and Japan. Inspired by the ideas of John Ruskin and William Morris, it advocated a revival of traditional handicrafts, a return to a simpler way of life and an improvement in the design of ordinary domestic objects." http://www.vam.ac.uk/page/a/arts-and-crafts/
Art Deco
"The term Art Deco refers to a style that spanned the boom of the roaring 1920s and the bust of the Depression-ridden 1930s. It affected all forms of design, from the fine and decorative arts to fashion, film, photography, transport and product design." http://www.vam.ac.uk/page/a/art-deco/
Art Nouvou
"Art Nouveau was a movement in the visual arts popular from the early 1890s up to the First World War. It is viewed by some as the first self-conscious attempt to create a modern style. Its influence can be found in painting, sculpture, jewellery, metalwork, glass and ceramics.The drawings of Aubrey Beardsley, the architecture of Victor Horta and Paul Hankar and the poster designs of Alphonse Mucha are some of the most familiar examples of the Art Nouveau style." http://www.vam.ac.uk/page/a/art-nouveau/
