Nouveau Verte – Art Nouveau Archival Print
A celebration of nature, form, and artistic renewal.
This exquisite French artwork is a captivating example of Japonisme and the Art Nouveau movement. The term “Japonisme,” coined by Philippe Burty, captures the profound influence that Japanese aesthetics had on French and European art from the 1860s onward.
For many European artists, this period symbolised a rediscovery of nature — a moment of aesthetic renewal and introspection. Nouveau Verte embodies this harmony, drawing on the sinuous lines, organic textures, and rhythmic patterns of the natural world.
“Japanese art is as important as a teacher. From it, we once again learn to feel clearly how far we have strayed from nature's true designs through the persistent imitation of fixed models; we learn how necessary it is to draw from the source; how the human spirit is able to absorb a wealth of magnificent, naive beauty from the organic forms of nature in place of pedantic, decrepit rigidity of form.”
– Julius Lessing, Report from the Paris Exposition Universelle, 1878
