ART NOUVEAU

Alphonse Mucha, Four Seasons, Color lithograph, 1897

This poster is relevant to the Art Nouveau style due to its high emphasis on nature as well as the female figure. This poster is designed to highlight female figures in almost a god-like way. While a previous example was another of Mucha's designs, this one differs as it features four examples of the full female body. His previous example was a profile of a female's face, and it also didn't contain such realistic shading as this piece. This piece is important to me as it emphasizes the power behind both women and nature. I find the comparison of the seasons, plants, and women to give off a captivating message about beauty.
