分析：此题属于难题。得确定题干中的adherents其实就是原文中的many artists and artisans of the Arts and Crafts movement。。。和some artists sought 。。。 再看有guild 的句子：some artistssought to produce individually conceived and executed pieces in workshop situations similar to those of medieval guilds。从次句会发现这里将medieval guild 和workshop做了类别。那么medieval guild 和workshop具备同样是性质。

　　At the same time, the Art Nouveau style was inspiring artists and artisans all over Europe, across the Atlantic and back again. Its flowing lines and graceful forms, drawing nature in its perfection and portraying idealized images, pervaded all areas of design, from fabrics and furniture to cutlery, as well as painting and sculpture. Born out of a direct opposition to unbridled mass production, Art Nouveau was intended to bring aesthetic values within the reach of the public and into functional areas. Perhaps it was in jewelry that Art Nouveau reached its pinnacle. Here the style represented a reaction against the imitation of styles from earlier periods and the emphasis given to precious stones. The material used in jewelry was prized for its decorative and symbolic effects, not for its intrinsic value. Rejecting the cluttered overornamentation of the past, artists influenced by Art Nouveau sought to draw popular interest away from machine-made products by incorporating more delicate and fluid natural forms—peacock feathers, flower stalks, vine tendrils, even insect wings.

　　与此同时，新艺术风格正在激烈整个欧洲的手工制造者和艺术家恢复过去的样子。完美的流线，优雅的格调，画出物质本来美的一面侵袭这这个设计风尚。这个风尚蔓延着从布料，到家具，到画幅，到雕塑。

　　新艺术的产生是由于大规模生存的驱使，新艺术想将新的美学感注入一定领域。可能是在珠宝领域，让新艺术到底了顶峰。在这个领域的风格代表了反感模仿的反应。
