My mentor in antique collecting is a huge fan of the art nouveau style. I found some lovely art nouvea posters online that I thought I would share. Art nouveau is a style of decorative arts from the 1890’s and 1910’s that was defined as a “way of life”. The style influenced everything from architecture, writing, textiles, metal works, art, advertising and every part of life. Natural forms sch as flowers and plants with the curved lines define the sinuous style.
Enjoy some gorgeous examples of art nouveau! I will post more later.
