Some of my digital prints have a Art Nouveau feel to them; the fluid shapes and composition and repetition of the motifs. When I was looking at Liberty London's fashion prints, I noticed that a few of the designs had an Art Nouveau theme too.
'Ianthe was first printed for Liberty in 1967. A typical example of French Art Nouveau with highly stylised flowers in a swirly pattern, the design is derived from a wallpaper border which was produced by a French artist in c.1902.'

The colours work so well together; some prints have a subtle combination of gradients of the same colour and others have bright reds,greens and blues. Motifs are repeated in a interesting way; colours highlighting key aspects of the shapes and the motifs placed in a elegant manner, emphasising the Art Nouveau theme.
