Art movements often migrate from the canvas to a variety of art forms such as decorative arts, architecture, and clothing. But initially, there are usually a few artists who set the style standards and are considered the masters. For the highly decorative Art Nouveau style, Czech artist Alphonse Mucha is considered a master.
