- The three stamps below were designed in the Art Nouveau style, which was most
popular with designers, painters, and architects between 1890-1910.- The term "Art Nouveau" or "New Art" is a French term used in the 19th century to describe the then modern response to academic art, which combined both Neoclassic and Romantic styles.
-Art Nouveau styles were inspired by natural structures and forms. There are hardly any straight lines (besides a border perhaps and obviously architecture) in an Art Nouveau inspired designs, which is what made it stand out to me amongst all the other movements.
- The stamps above are good examples of Art Nouveau inspired designs. Each illustrates in a different way the natural curves of living things.
- They all are similarly simple designs with bold lines. I myself am an animal lover, but I also wanted to show a colorful expression of human form, so I included the woman with the flower as well.
