This motto, which is displayed on the frontage of the Secession House built by J .M. Olbrich in Vienna in 1898, shows the desire to which Art Nouveau was the response: the desire to break away from imitating styles of the past, to develop an art that reflected the sensitivities and way of life of a particular society, the extreme individuality of the artist dreaming of inventing an original language that would ensure the absolute harmony of the ornamentation of life.
Art Nouveau aimed to embellish life's setting for both aesthetic and moral reasons.
