Art Nouveau Posters Easily recognized by its sumptuous, curvilinear designs, Art Nouveau was born in France at the end of the 19th century and remained the predominant international decorative style until World War I. The sensual, organic images changed the face of advertising and launched a poster craze that swept Europe and America during the Belle Epoque. The gallerys diverse collection features an array of masterpieces, from early American literary posters to one of our specialties, Italian Art Nouveau. Notable artists include: Cheret, Steinlen, Mucha, Toulouse-Lautrec, Grun, Hohenstein, Dudovich, Metlicovitz, Terzi, Bradley, and Penfield.

Mid-Century Modern & 1950's Style - We have an ever-expanding collection of posters from the Mad Men-era. Two diametrically opposite trends emerged in poster art in the decades after World War II: one rational and tightly structured, known as the International Typographic Style, and the other gently humorous and playfully relaxed, which we dub the 1950s Style.
