In todays class we focused on how Art Nouveau has evolved and brought more of what we know today as graphic design. Art Nouveau is the first international art movement. Art Nouveau was very different through out the times, it was very decorative ornamental and architectural. Cheret and Gasset both had victorian graphics, they designed posters. Cheret was to be considered the father of modern lithograph posters. Grasset had a coloring book style, with thick black lines. Things began to become more modern and minimalist. Artists began to use flat shapes with positive and negative space. The first "movie star" poster was developed by Alphonese Mucha, he had a very floraly phase in Art Nouveau. Type also eventually came into the picture but this time it was more refined and graphically designed.

 The Jugendstil "style of youth" a popular name for a style of architecture and decorative art. It indicated the creative activities carried out in munich. There was also the Vienna Secession which was the clash between traditional vs. new ideas. Gustav Klimt was the founder and president, his painting The Kiss is the symbol of the Vienna Secession. Koloman Moser defined the approach to graphic design for the movement. There was alot of geometric designs in the V.S. The development of graphic design has come along way since last class, it has become more simplified and more geometric.

Todays Lecture was all about how type brought different art forms. Posters were the big main thing but since they were so big the woodcuts were not large enough. 1870 lithograph printing improved. The Victorian Era had a impact on graphic design, type and other art forms. As books began to come out they weren't produced as nicely as they should have and could have been, designers didnt really put any thought into the books. Chromolithography - hand drawn using multiple lithographic stones to print component colors. Louis Prang was a very important man, he had the first art journal, and designed the first american christmas card and other greeting cards. Magazines and other printed forms became very popular, u had the monthly magazine, the weekly, and the scandalous one. Thomas Nast was the father of the american political Cartoons. There was a rise in advertising agencies, close to the growth of the magazine. Then along came William Morris and he inspired the rehabilitation on the book. Guilds were formed around 18882, Century guild linked graphic design to architecture and the Earny press linked arts and crafts to art nouveau.
