"Tosca" Poster Design

Designer:  Echo Chernik

Art Nouveau

Workbook 37

This is a poster advertising the opera "Tosca".  I instantly noticed the visual motifs inspired the Art Nouveau style (female figure, decorative, arching type, organic shapes and lines).  Looking more closely at it, I noticed that the frame around the female figure is actually the silhouette of a man.  The poster does a good job of incorporating elements from the story into the image.  Like Art Nouveau, this design uses a female figure in a long, flowy dress as the main figure.
