<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 11102406, member: 37&quot;]Jugendstil is not really used in the US but I am certainly familiar with it.&nbsp; I always took it to be synonymous or certainly more akin to art nouveau.&nbsp; Whereas, I have always taken secessionist to be closer to arts and crafts or art deco.&nbsp; Maybe a bridge between the two. I realize that when describing an item, we are sometimes splitting hairs when making a determination.&nbsp; These various movements overlapped a bit and did not occur in a vacuum despite possibly being removed in geography.&nbsp; I am interested in other peoples takes on this. What do these various design movements mean to you?&nbsp; Any scholarly takes you can point us to?</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: This might be a discussion worthy of its own thread in the antiques forum.&nbsp; If there is interest, I could start a new thread there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
