“Modern” should be distinguished from a general sense of the word "modern" and from the conception of modernism. The main feature of the Modern style - decorative, the main motif – clambering plant, the basic principle - the assimilation of the natural handmade form and vice versa. This is reflected in the architecture, the details of buildings,in the ornament, which received an extraordinary development. The lines of the ornament carried the spiritual and emotional intensity and symbolic sense. The slogan of modern - "closer to nature." A characteristic feature - a complex system of ornament with stylized flowers and plants, and sometimes birds. Art of Modern is recognizable by abstract forms, but a living, organic, breathing and growing. The main expressive form and motif of Modern style became the line, but not straight, but flexible, lively, whimsical, elegant, soulful. Language of Modern art - are abstract forms, but living, organic.
