Art Nouveau 1890-1910

This poster is typical of Art Nouveau; swirled foliage, flat abstract images and minimal use of colour. It has a Japanese handmade feel to it, with the forms being quite organic and not completely contained within the frame. The print has a nice sense of movement to it and the font used is also typical for this design period.

This lovely picture has all the elements of Art Nouveau. The Grecian hairstyle, the swirl of birds adding movement to the picture and the side profile all add grace to this illustration. The restrained use of colour and the organic font, combined with the image not being constrained by the border are all typical Art Nouveau details.
I like this type of design for the fresh, organic shapes and colours used. The fonts used in this time are really nice and the Japanese influence is great, adding a sense of freedom to the artworks.
