Art Nouveau Corridor (Guide)
From the 1890s through the 1910s, decorative art flourished in Paris and beyond — curving lines, plant motifs, and advances in print technology turned posters and panels into urban art. This corridor traces Lautrec’s nights and Mucha’s decorative line through public-domain images.

FAQ
- What is Art Nouveau?
- A decorative style that spread across Europe from the 1890s through the 1910s. Plant-like curves, asymmetry, and advances in printing turned posters and decorative panels into part of the streetscape.
- How do Lautrec and Mucha differ?
- Lautrec captured cabaret life with flat color and fast lithographic line. Mucha idealized the female figure within ornamental curves for theatre and commercial posters. Both relied on print innovation.
- What about copyright?
- Works shown are digital reproductions of public-domain art. Institution credits appear on each work page. They are not licensed or endorsed by the Mucha Foundation or similar rights holders.
- How does this relate to Art Deco?
- Art Deco follows in the 1920s with a more geometric decorative language. A separate Art Deco corridor is planned; cross-links will connect the two periods when live.
