The Arts and Crafts Movement 1880-1910 (originating in England), and Continental Art Nouveau 1892-1902 (centered in Belgium and countered in Vienna), were both late nineteenth-century responses to modernity, and industrialized goods in particular. Arts and Crafts was grounded in the philosophy of Ruskin, who asked artists to find inspiration in nature. Art Nouveau has no such single point of philosophical origin, although the style typically rendered nature more sensually and dramatically than the Arts and Crafts style, and was less devoted to historicism in general (although folk influences do find their way into Jungendstil).
