ART NOUVEAU



The Century Magazine: Midsummer Holiday Number, Louis John Rhead, 1894

This poster is relevant to the Art Nouveau style due to its extremely natural style. The thick black lineart featured in the lithograph also adds to the artistic style. The typefaces also appear as though they were hand drawn and outlined. This work differs from previous examples as it has a very intricate background that follows the same style as the main subject. The work also serves as an advertisement for a magazine company. In fact, this piece is unique as the magazine in question is the magazine that the female subject is reading through. This work stood out to me as it is an advertisement from the 1800s for a published work, which is something I have worked on myself. This piece gives me another work to gain inspiration from.
