Abstract Art Nouveau Design

Modernised Art Nouveau Imagery...


Trial in black and purple of stencil related to the stencilled back of the armchair, designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for the 'Rose Boudoir', Modern Decorative Art exhibition, Turin, 1902  Hunterian Art Gallery Mackintosh collections: GLAHA 41334


- Here is a modern example of Art Nouveau. This is a picture of a modernised picture of a classic. Although it still is easily recognisable as something from the Art Nouveau era it has some very modern aspects of it and uses negative space and simplistic colours to contrast the Art Nouveau.


Line
- Here there are regimented straight lines down the middle of the piece, however around the sides there are the usual Art Nouveau naturalistic curves and organic shapes swirling around to make the piece a true Art Nouveau.

Space
- The space is very compacted meaning that this is very closely follows the criteria of Art Nouveau. Its non regimented gaps means that the style is very free and flowing.

Colour
- The colour is what sets this design apart from the rest of the Art Nouveau. The colours consist of black and a deep purple, very unlike the organic colours that is usually associated with Art Nouveau.
