Art Nouveau

 Is an international philosophy and style of art, architecture and applied art , especially the decorative art  that were most popular during 1890–1910.
 The name "Art Nouveau" is French for "new art"
The style was influenced strongly by Czech artist Alphonse Mucha, when Mucha produced a lithographed poster, which appeared on 1 January 1895 in the streets of Paris as an advertisement for the play Gismonda by Victorien Sardou, featuring Sarah Bernhardt.  It popularised the new artistic style and its creator to the citizens of Paris. Initially named Style Mucha, (Mucha Style), his style soon became known as Art Nouveau.


Here's a book that I purchased from a library time ago,  it's a biography and analytic book of the artist Alphonse Mucha and his works. It's really pretty.

This is a illustration I made based on the style :)
