The artistic influence of the period: L'art Nouveau
By precaution, it is important to mention that not all posters are influenced by the main artistic movement of the period they belong to. Some are inspired by the unique style of the artist, by another art movement, or simply refuse conformism
Art Nouveau is a style of visual arts and architecture that developed in both Europe and North America at the end of the 19TH century. It employs many plant motifs and is characterized by flowing, curvilinear forms. Art Nouveau pieces are highly ornamental and generally are asymmetrical.
It is thought that this Art Period arose in response to the Industrial Revolution. It appears to deplore the shoddiness of mass produced, machine-made objects. Standards of grace and beauty were applied to everyday goods. The Art Nouveau movement was extremely broad in scope. Its principles were applied to building design as well as to all items within the building. Art Nouveau broke the barriers between fine and applied arts. No object was over-looked no matter how utilitarian. The magnificent wrought iron entrances to the Metro in Paris, designed by Hector Guimard are classic example of the Art Nouveau style.
