Art Nouveau was an international style of art, architecture, and decorative arts that flourished from 1890 to 1910 and was characterized by asymmetrical lines, curvilinear forms, and elaborate patterns inspired by nature. The Triumph of Nature includes approximately 120 Art Nouveau treasures — furniture, paintings, sculpture, mosaics, books, posters, prints, lamps, and glass — from the Chrysler Museum of Art, which is known for its Art Nouveau collection.

The Private Impressionist sheds light on the personality of the complex man and the artists he called friends, and reveals his eclecticism, both in diversity of subject matter and in his experimentation with techniques.
