this is a my new segment dedicated to artists and art styles, classic to contemporary, that have influenced me, and i'll be posting it every wednesday.
art nouveau has always been one of my main influences, the fluid, organic design, the emphasis on line.. powerful stuff. here goes nothin'.
Alphonse Mucha
when the phrase "art nouveau" gets thrown into a conversation, 9 out of 10 times the images that come to mind for most are that of this powerhouse, alphonse mucha, who pretty much is responsible for the movement by way of a poster he lithographed for a play in 1895. it's advertisement that influenced art and visa versa i suppose. awesome stuff. but the beginning of the end in a way. hmmm.
yeah.
