Resumo
The 'Art Nouveau' in Mexico was mainly developed during the 1890 to 1910 decades and played an important role in all intellectual and social aspects, particularly in the capital of the country. The cornerstone mexican contribution of a new style was, most probably, the one that openly lay out the configuration of a national art. The modernism highlighted in the urban image through private and public architectonic constructions, among which stand out the National Theatre and the housing and commercial use buildings as well as through numerous urban furniture projects directed to shop windows, advertising images and commemorative monuments in diverse public spaces of the capital.
