Art Nouveau Wall Art

What's in the collection

Edward Penfield supplies most of it: a golfer in an orange coat, a soldier on a black horse, a woman in a red raincoat, another rowing under a viaduct, a man on a bicycle with a pipe in his teeth. Gustav Klimt adds an early portrait in chalky cream, and Moriz Jung a Viennese greyhound standing among dense pattern. The wider range of painters is in our fine art prints, and the older painting these designers reacted against is in old masters wall art.

One house style

Graphic work hangs differently from painting. The shapes are simple and the colour is flat, so these read cleanly from a distance and suit a hallway, a stairwell or a home office where you pass rather than sit. They also mix easily with the travel posters in our vintage wall art, since both come from the same era of printing.

Sizes, paper and framing

Every design is offered on archival matte paper in nine sizes from 8\" x 12\" to 30\" x 40\", plus A4-A1 for European frames, and on matte canvas either stretched on a wooden bar or set in a solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural. Printed with pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.

Questions about art nouveau wall art

Are these reproductions of vintage posters?

They reproduce illustrations and poster designs from the period, printed to order today rather than salvaged originals.

How many should I hang together?

Three in a row at one size works well for this group. The wall art size guide helps you space them.
