ART NOUVEAU Henri Privat-Livemont , Absinthe Robette, 1896 This work relates to the theme of art nouveau, as it features the same artistic styles of art nouveau. This includes a neutral color palette, natural flowing curves, and flowing curves. Another element that stands out is the hand-drawn typeface that is familiar with the style. When it comes to the flowing curves, they are showcased through the intricate background and decorated border. There is also a lot of detail within the curves of the female's figure as well as her clothing. The natural folds help highlight the body of the woman. This work stands out and is different than the others as it is actually made to advertise alcohol, absinthe. This alcohol was very popular during this time, and many posters like this one use the art nouveau style as a form of advertisement. Many posters feature a combination of beautiful women with alcohol. This work stood out to me as it functions as an advertisement and it interests me what

  ART NOUVEAU Kuba Gornowicz , Coffee Time This work relates to the theme of art nouveau as it has the same delicate and natural features that primarily exist in art nouveau. This can be seen through the flowing natural curves of both the female figure and the steam that is used to enhance the image. The texture of the image also helps make it appear almost vintage, taking the viewer back to the 1900s. Another more obvious detail is the use of a female figure. Despite the poster being about coffee, the female figure takes up almost the entire composition. This example appears different than the rest as it seems to draw influence from more contemporary art. The typeface does not have the same hand-written appeal but is rather a simple sans serif. This font choice helps draw the poster more into the present. I find this image inspiring through its use of highlighting the subject of coffee. Coffee is not even shown; instead, there is a woman, a cup, and steam. With the title, all of these

    ART NOUVEAU Élisabeth Sonrel, Flowers Of Water, 1900 This work relates to the theme of art nouveau, firstly by its easily recognizable color palette. Many artists of the time in this art movement stuck to this same color palette. There is also heavy attention to nature, which is seen here through the calm water and varying plant life. The lineart is also all natural with flowing curves and a lack of sharp geometric lines. Another detail that stood out to me is its apparent asymmetrical design. Artists during the art nouveau movement were known to break the symmetrical grid and start working on an asymmetrical composition. This work is different than the others as there is more attention to the subject's whole body as well as clothing. It is easy to notice how the folds and drapery of the fabric are meticulously designed. The figure also appears to be in a contrapposto stance, with careful bends to the knees and elbows. This work stood out to me as the figure seems to be illustr

  ART NOUVEAU Art Nouveau Hand Lettering, Katie Johnson This design relates to the art nouveau art style as it contains the same type of lineart and patterns that relates to the style. The color palette also features mainly earth tones, which is a common theme found in art nouveau. Another important factor is the typeface and how it acts as an illustration in itself. The type gives off a hand-drawn characteristic that is common within this time period. This work is different than others as it doesn't feature a large subject within the work. Instead, it focuses heavily on the typeface and lettering. There is no important feminine subject that has been prevalent in earlier examples. However, it still gives off the same aesthetic and impact. This work stood out to me due to the unique typeface. As someone who enjoys typography, I thought the phrase was delivered in a successful way. The patterns and decoration inspire me for my own work. BIBLIOGRAPHY https://www.katiemadethat.com/

  ART NOUVEAU Marco Mazzetti lámina Primavera art nouveau + arte pop 2007 This poster is relevant to the Art Nouveau style as it contains a prominent female subject, natural flowing lines, and intricate line art. This poster has little geometric influence, and the typeface also seems natural, almost as if it were hand drawn. Not to mention, the figure lacks natural shading and has a flatter tone that can be seen in many pieces within the theme of art nouveau. This piece is very different as it encompasses art nouveau's style while adding a modern spin to it with the use of neon colors. This piece interested me from the start as it combined two distinct styles, both art nouveau and pop art. I find this to be a very successful mesh of the two styles, and create a unique and captivating work. BIBLIOGRAPHY https://www.flickr.com/photos/mazzettimarco/2118688669/

  ART NOUVEAU Pamela Colman Smith,  Rider-Waite Deck, 1909 This Tarot card deck is relevant to the Art Nouveau style as it contains the same very detailed illustrations that are known for the style. Although the works have many curved patterns and intricate lineart, there is a lack of shading that gives this style a more flat look. This set of work is different than previous examples as it is the original tarot card design that many are familiar with today. The above works of art were all made with a clear purpose to illustrate each separate tarot card. Many tarot cards are known today for adopting a similar style that dates back to art nouveau. This set of artwork is important to me as I have been familiar with tarot cards and always thought their artwork was very inspiring. It's fascinating to see elements of the art nouveau style within the original set of tarot cards. BIBLIOGRAPHY https://www.cnn.com/style/article/pamela-colman-smith-tarot-art-whitney/index.html
