Art Nouveau

Art Nouveau is a beautiful style of art, Architecture and design from 1890 to 1905. It is said to be the first international design style. It came directly after the Arts & Crafts movement and has similar characteristics like its natural flowing organic motifs and its rebellion against Victorian arts overly fancy style.


This poster by Alphonse Mucha from 1898 is a typical example of Art Nouveau with the flowing stylised hair and the use of black outlines and flat colours.









This poster titled Dance also by Alphonse Mucha from 1898 is another typical example of Art Nouveau with its organic curvy borders, stylised hair and fabric and again its use of black outlines and flat colours.
