3 three decades of the Belle Epoque, 1889-1910 which gave rise to a sexual awakening of the late 19th and early 20th c. 
Sexual symbolism and imagery in the arts, culture, literature and daily perception. In the art of jewelry, painting, literature and decorative arts, the shaking off of the taboo gave rise to the Art Nouveau style and gave new found freedom and expression.
