Art Nouveau is a very ornamental and aesthetically pleasing style that emerged at the turn of the century. Alfred Mucha was one of the most famous artists of this style.
<u>At these two posters of his we can spot rather few typical aspects of the art nouveau:</u>
<u>The long feminine figures of women with curling hair</u> – present at the post advertisers. The women are in elegant poses, very feminine and slender
<u>vertical, long lines and format that goes in the height</u> – as seen at these posters, t<u>he lines and figures are stretched out and not much goes into the width </u>
<u>lavish ornaments</u> - <u>the best example is in the circle behind the woman on </u><u><em>Moet & Chandon</em></u><u> poster</u>
<u>stylized flowers and flowery decoration</u> – there are flowers as the parts of the ornament, flowers in the hair of the women, as well as the hand holding the flower on the left poster
<u>curvy and elegant lines</u> – all the edges are curved, there are no sharp lines, they all look delicate
<u>muted colors</u> – <u>both posters are done in pastel, but warm colors</u>. Art Nouveau used the palette of the timid, sepia colors of olive green, brown, mustard, and peach, which can all be spotted in these posters
