Aubrey Beardsley, The Peacock Skirt, 1893. (contributors, 2016).
Art Nouveau is an international style of art, architecture and design that became popular in the early 20th century. it is very stylized and has flowing curvilinear lines throughout their designs which often looks floral and very plant-inspired. Two-dimensional pieces are painted, drawn. Conventional moulding seem to spring to life and grow into plant-derived forms (contributors, 2016). The Peacock Skirt is a pure example of Art Nouveau, the curvy lines and contrasting colors are very clear, the plant-like designs are very clear as well as the use of abstraction.
Chong Lock Sin, Untitled, 2009. (Lock Sin: 2009).
Art Nouveau has a very distinctive and visual look. Unlike the Pre-Raphaelties. Contemporary Art Nouveau art works has evolved in a way in which it looks digital. They still make use of the curvilinear lines throughout the work as well as the plant-like sketches but it looks more controlled now, Art Nouveau artists quickly used new materilas, machined surfaces and abstraction in the service of pure design (contributors, 2017).
