*edit*

Art Nouveau focused on plant like lines... another ugly style according to me. But Art Nouveau focused on different elements including architecture, furniture and product design: teapots, dishes, spoons,houses, fashion and graphics including posters packages, and advertisements. The plant like line filled in areas with flowers and organic shapes. The female form also was used in design. If you look at the examples in the book you will notice that there is a lot of focus on the female. For example in one image she is smoking and in another holding flowers (Big Surprise) but to sum everything up there was a focuse on elegant flower borders and selective imagery and type for posters. And they started with the use of layering in their posters. Some important people from the time include, Jules Cheret, Eugene Grassat, Aubrey Bearsley, Charles Pickets, Alphonsie Mucha, Louis Rhead, and Van De Velde.

One thing i find interesting is that the women are being used in these posters way before there were any womens rights or women rights movements.

Question.... Why do these designers like to go back in time to recreate past styles? why do they feel thats important?
