MUCHA


This is the Menu from my wedding a year a go and yes, that means it's not new art and yes, this is in the art nouveau style. I'm sure you already know, but for those who don't it was an international movement of style that peaked in the 1890's. The name art nouveau is French for new art. The style is very decorative with an attention to line art, lush flowers, and soft color. The style of this illustration is more closely linked to that of the Mucha Style, named after an under-appreciated Czech illustrator, Alphonse Mucha. There will be a test on the 4th of July. No exceptions.
