In Czech, Art Nouveau is called <em>Secese<\/em>, and closely embodied similar stylistic elements found throughout Europe. The Art Nouveau (or New Art) era was an incredibly popular style among a myriad of art mediums including architecture, painting, sculpture, and decorative arts. The era is predominately characterized by the intricate floral designs found in almost every piece. A lot of Art Nouveau artists used soft colors and organic lines and shapes when creating their works to evoke a natural and pleasant energy. At this time, Art Nouveau works became engulfed in the increased popularity of printing. This work specifically was a mass produced print where the relatively flat and simple lines created beautiful prints that many households and businesses could purchase and display.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/02\/0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1669 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/02\/0.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/02\/0.jpg 688w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/art-museum\/files\/2019\/02\/0-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\" \/><\/a>In looking at this specific work, <em>Oeillet<\/em> is a lithograph painted in watercolors. After this work was printed by the lithograph, the artist revisited the new print with watercolors, creating a final <em>aquarelles<\/em> (or watercolor work). It is also one of four pieces in the series titled <em>Les Fleurs<\/em>, each panel dedicated to a different woman and flower. In each work, a woman is completely encased by whatever flower is found predominately in that season and is entitled the name of the flower. Here, a woman is entrapped in <em>oeillets<\/em>, or carnations.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about this piece, visit Miami University Art Museum to see <a href=\"https:\/\/miamioh.edu\/cca\/art-museum\/exhibitions\/19spg-40-at-40\/index.html\"><em>40 at 40: Celebrating 40 Years<\/em><\/a> in Gallery 3!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Oeillet was created by a Czech artist named Alphonse Mucha in 1898 at the height of the Art Nouveau movement.
