Love this beautiful Art Nouveau style tenement tile pattern, featuring Scottish Bluebells. It's from a tenement close in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.
The artwork I finished yesterday was published immediately!
Baylis and Gideon from an upcoming K.W. Foster book "A Vow of Wrath and Ruin".
I honestly meditated while painting all these roses.
"Life is a Struggle (Golden Rider)," Gustav Klimt, 1903.
I won't go on about Klimt, you've heard it before. But this is an interesting canvas; it mixes the "modern" style of Art Nouveau with material that echoes the Pre-Raphaelites and medieval art.
Klimt painted this during a bitter time of life; three paintings he'd been commissioned for by the University of Vienna had been rejected for being "pornographic." Evidently, this was painted to hearten himself as he continued on his artistic journey, despite the critics and naysayers, symbolized by the snake.
There's a mosaic-like quality to this, as there is to some of Klimt's work. And the overall effect is almost jewel-like.
Courage, friends!

The elaborate and stunning metalwork on the top of 144 Saint Vincent Street in Glasgow which is the origin of its nickname: The Hat-Rack. Built around 1900, it was designed by James Salmon Junior, and is one of Glasgow's Art Nouveau architectural gems.
Lavirotte building in Paris.
Wonderful example of Art Nouveau architecture (1901)

"Cottage Garden," Gustav Klimt, 1903-07.
It's Flower Friday! Today I've got a lovely scene from Gustav Klimt, who I've featured often. Although technically Art Nouveau, this scene is almost Abstract in its pile of riotous colors against a background of green. This isn't any kind of realist botanical work...this is COLOR.
In fact, it's almost a dream image, the perfect garden to relax in...
Happy Friday!

Part of me wonders if #ArtNouveau isn't the most #solarpunk of all the #art genres inspired heavily by natural designs and nature at its heart. Its only flaw is that during its time, class divide ensured much of the public didn't have access to it, and it was a beautiful for the rich but barely enriched the lives of the poor at the time. Who knows how it would have evolved if WWI hadn't broken out.
These days, thanks to digital design, image libraries and 3D printing available to the masses, everyone can enjoy that art style. I see little solarpunk art that embraces it though. Most of them learn more heavily on the #punk aspect of sort of the rough amateur yet community based wholesomeness that is at the core of solarpunk. Community focused art is almost jarring in terms of modern aesthetics. However i do wonder how well the blending of the two genres could make the movement pop more and draw people in who were unaware of it prior.
