World Art Nouveau Day 2021

However, my standards are not those of many of my peers.
The subjective nature of art in general renders it 'junk' to some and 'treasure' to others. Thus is the nature of humanity and individual taste.
Art Nouveau is an international spin on the style of art, architecture, and other applied and decorative art.
It is known by various name in different languages. Suffice it to say in the US the genre is known as "modern style".
World Art Nouveau Day is dedicated to art nouveau and has been celebrated annually on June 10th since 2013.

I am compelled to pursue those avenues in my own perception of what is new and remains art.
Not anything nor everything qualifies in my mind's eye. It's rather like a novel by Stephen King.
Eventually some examples appear to simply stop trying to be art.
