Nouveau Sort of Way

And, oh, I could live and work in a place designed by Mucha. It would be warm and cozy as well, in a nouveau sort of way.

Alphonse Mucha — Design for Documents décoratifs — 1902

Very interesting painting. I like the monochromatic color.

Yes, and interestingly, it's just pencil and white touchup on paper!

Oh yes! Ohh... yes! I could live there. Lock me in. I don't care.

Absolutely wonderful!

I love how Mucha could, and did, apply his decorative vision to any object.

Finding Art Nouveau early as a child it what guided me to become the artist I am today, and the art nouveau era is my favorite era. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era, as art nouveau was my thing, my reason for being I thought.
Today I have a vast collection of art nouveau books, some out of print that I cherish.
Whenever I want to relax, and go back to simpler times, I pull out a book and reminisce in what should have been, lol.
