What's the difference between Art Nouveau and Art Deco Anyway?

Art Nouveau was in style before World War I and Art Deco came into style after.

The quick answer is that it all comes down to; "flowery" vs. "streamlined." Art Nouveau is the decorative one. It's the one with the twirls and swirls. Art Deco is sleeker. It's the one with the geometric lines, shapes and hard edges.
