Giclee Prints

Art Nouveau is one of my favorite art periods and I began experimenting with its rhythmic fluid lines, flowing design, and the strength of its stylization in my own work.

The Art Nouveau giclee prints, Pinot Noir and Goddess were created in gouache (opaque watercolor) and are available as museum quality giclee prints. Each print is beautifully reproduced on fine art paper and would be perfect for someone who loves this style of art.

Go to Imagekind (one of my online art galleries where I sell giclee prints and all occasion greeting cards) to view and purchase these beautiful giclee prints.

Character of Art Nouveau

This etherial style was an artistic movement involving painting, printmaking, decorative design, and architectural styles, which developed in England in the 1880's. Its style influenced everything artistic; from furniture to jewelry. It piqued in 1902 and lasted until about 1910.

Primarily an ornamental style, it was not only a protest against the sterile Realism, but against the whole drift toward industrialization, mechanization, and the unnatural artifacts they produced.

Dynamic, undulating, and flowing, with curved 'whiplash' lines of syncopated rhythm characterized much of Art Nouveau. Another feature is the use of hyperbolas and parabolas. Conventional mouldings seem to spring to life and 'grow' into plant-derived forms.

This lovely style has a distinctive visual look, and the artists who painted in this style quickly used new materials, machined surfaces, and abstraction in the service of pure design.

Art Nouveau is considered a 'total' style, meaning that it encompasses a hierarchy of scales in design such as, architecture, interior design, decorative arts including jewelry, furniture, textiles, household silver and other utensils, lighting, and the range of visual arts.
