Art Nouveau--or Jugendstil, as it was called in Germany--was an important precursor of Expressionism. Although Art Nouveau's most important contributions were made in the area of applied design, Art Nouveau artists and artisans shared with the contemporaneous Symbolist painters a desire to reintegrate art and life. One of the most important Art Nouveau groups was the Wiener Werkstätte, an Austrian design collective established by Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser in 1903. The Wiener Werkstätte had a showroom in New York in the 1920s, but the first gallery exhibition of this work in the United States was mounted by the Galerie St. Etienne in 1966.
