Portraits in the Art Nouveau Style

So, here is the final verdict on your preferences in art:

Style: art nouveau

Genre: portrait

 “Beauty against the machines”, “back to nature” – those are the fundamental principles of art nouveau. A woman seems to be the subject most promising for the artistic presentation of both ideas. Male portraits are much less popular with the artists of art nouveau. The fluidic curves, the flowing hair, the heart-pounding… silhouettes and floral patterns, extravagant and pricey materials – everything that makes up the style of art nouveau works splendidly to highlight the femininity. A person in art nouveau portraits suggests no pathos or tragedy, the viewer does not have to be critical or analytical as it goes with romantic or realist paintings. Women are depicted in the state of peace and harmony with the environment, the nature and the world generally, they make the world a prettier place, and are captured as vignettes on the canvas of the universe.

A person who prefers art nouveau portraits is nowhere near the fussy ambitions. Making up his mind about others, unlike many people nowadays he does not consider the volume of consumption to be a person’s achievement. He will ignore the shoes and the car, but look for pleasant talks, erudition and values of the people he meets. He loves his home, and appreciates the successes and gifts his life presents him with. He does engage in fashion crazes from time to time, but he will never turn to the tacky pieces of commercial art and mass-produce stuff to decorate his home and his life.
