![]() Yeah, Gustav wasn't really nouveau was he, but design wasn't really design back then so I was only paying attention to the compositional elements of his paintings.

![]() Yes yes, all true, but there are many ways to view the reasons behind all of these movements. I just choose the bits that interested me the most. |
