Certain gothic faces such as Neuland are created to symbolize the pinnacle of German typography. Neuland is strangely used today mostly for african and Caribbean themes. Jules is considered to be the father of the modern poster. the graphics look victorian. Jules became known for the colorful posters, usually with a central female figure, with things going on around her. Lautrec and Cheret are in the same time period, creating posters like the moulin rouge posters. Eugene Grasset comes into the picture with his coloring book style of work. flat color and heavy black lines. The next guy is Arthur Mackmurdo. He has the influence of arts and crafts, but pays attention to the line quality of art neuvau. Beardsley vs morris. Morris has more beautiful intricacy, and beardsley prefers sex. Alfonzo Mucha is like us, studys in paris and works at a print shop and makes prints for a living. The tendrils of hair in his "JOB" piece.

Bahrens, another member of the Jugens group became well known for his multicolor woodlblock prints, inspired by french art and japanese wood block print. The kiss exploits the androgeny, you dont know which is a girl or id both are girls.

THE GLASGOW SCHOOL 4 margaret and frances macdonald, herbert mcnair, and charles renee macintosh. Characteristic elements:

Geometric, curvilinear elements, rectilinear structure. symbolic imagery, stylized forms

This leads to Talwin Morris. He is influenced by the 4, and created the red letter shakespeare series. people are inexplicably obsessed with this guy.

koloman moser, josef hoffman. Succession style which is very intellectual.

This style of design is really moving towards todays style. You can really see the development of todays design in this art. There really is day to day application of things we are learning about art nouveau.
