LINK:Movement: Art Nouveau
Artist: Hans Christiansen (Jugend Covers)
Work: "L'Heure du Berger"
Date: 1898
In this poster, one can see the characteristics of Art Nouveau in the floral designs (natural setting) and the nude in the arrangement. Not that these are always found in this movement, but they are found a good bit, especially in Jugend. these elements also help create a whimsical feeling.
As stated before, Christiansen uses nudes to along with floral arrangements to create a mystical/epic tone to his works. To further this tone, he also sticks with the muted/natural colors that make the viewer feel invited into the story the work is telling, much like fairy tale/mythological story.
