ART NOUVEAU PAINTING

Women are predominant, eroticism leads to the

perversion.

Technically it insists on the purity of the line, which gives

a two-dimensional character, and the expressiveness of the

drawing.

The organic forms, especially curved and spiral(plants,

flowers, leaves, twisted stems which fills all the space)

They preferred elongated and oblong formats.
