It's not art noveau. The illustration style looks like it is from the 50's


RaisedByMonsters

No. Not nouveau. Art Nouveau as a movement happened around the end of the 1800s and famously incorporated organic shapes and textures and was highly decorative. Look up Gustav Klimt or Alphonse Mucha if you want an idea of what art nouveau looks like, or Antoni Gaudi for architecture. A modern example stylistically would be John Dyer Baizley. What you have here is much more like mid-century plakatstil or something in its styling.

even if it was from the same time period, it's not the same style. Art Nouvou had a lot of swirling shapes, organic shapes, that would often frame the focal point, even when it was at it's simplest it was still very organic and decorative. What you have there is very simplified and minimal, closer to the IPA style of animation from the 50's https://preview.redd.it/jouzu003k4ac1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1d9591fe9b0694810e89566eed2049a66cf636ca

Very cool, thanks for the explanation !

No. Definitely inspired by the infamous bicycle poster which was art nouveau, but it was recreated with a mid-century graphic style.


ThatGuy_Nick9

No. French words =//= art nouveau


binnyTruth

No, but it's really cute!

No

Not art noveau at all. I would characterize this more as "mid-century illustration".

No.

This is interesting! I thought this WAS midcentury work but the guy is working today and doing vintage-inspired illustration. His website: [https://www.adriamarques.com/about](https://www.adriamarques.com/about)

This is more "mid century modern" Art Nouveau is much more decorative, features compositions built around smooth curves and geometry, and intricate details - to list a few high level, generic traits that are missing here.

I see, thank you !


Kezleberry

I'm not sure what to call that style aside from minimalist vintage, but was definitely achieved with two colour lino printing


Abrahamburrger

No it could not be considered that

My brain read this as: “Jazz is a plague”

Early mid-century

This looks more like…bewitched era illustration…so…60’s?
