00:00 Why do Art Nouveau artists use these colors!
00:39 Let's get started
01:42 2 main questions
03:20 Discovery # 1
03:41 Discovery # 2
04:50 What color harmony and color palettes they used?
08:11 Let's compare it to other art movements like Hyperrealism, realism, and Romanticism.
The "yellow" in Klimt's art is actually very often the gold leaf, so I'd say the muted palette was used to contrast even more with the bright and shiny gold and make it pop, to achieve this feeling of opulence and otherworldliness. Also, I had the luck to see one of the "JOB" cigarettes posters in person and I remember the hair and border decorations of the frame as well as the brand name was also gold paint.
EDIT (because I thought about it some more): I think the original point still stands to a point: we have to take into the account that most of the art nouveau that we recognise as today (and also what you showed as examples in your video) were graphic work made for advertisement and to be printed. The traditional painter could use all the colours they wanted, but even looking at the examples I brought up before, the gold accents in Mucha's "JOB" poster looks washed out and dull shown in relation to radiant and bright gold leaf underpainting in Gustav Klimt's paintings. Why was that? Because Klimt could justify and afford to use the extravagant amount of real gold leaf for one painting (I mean "one" as the particular specific canvas, I know he used gold in many more than one painting, but he didn't have to make hundreds of copies of them), but the printer had to use the printing paint he could afford to print many copies of the poster, which's main purpose was to be an ad seen by as many people as possible.
That is so fascinating! Thank you so much for sharing so much more about Art-Nouveau and why they use the specific colors they did and the reason behind it! I didn't know Klimt used Gold leaf for his artworks. And it makes sense to use it on the original and not every single print to be adorned with gold leaf.
And so cool you got to see some of those works in person Nothing beats seeing it in real life. Photos have no justice compared to the real work itself!

Thank you!! I hadn't really picked up on the use of split complimentary, or simplifying the color pallet to emphasize the design.
My pleasure! I'm happy you found it helpful and thank you again so much for asking the awesome question about learning the color palette of Art-Nouveau!

@@victoriayuart I would love to hear your impressions of the Nihonga style:
The absence of realism
The absence of shadow
The presence of outline
The absence of a rich palette
The expression is simple
It has become one of my favorite artistic movements since discovering it in Japan.
@@russellschaeffler I would love to share my impression of Nihonga Style with you, Russell!😍😍😍 I don't know anything about the Nihonga Style but I'm super excited to learn and discover more about it and share my thoughts and impression of it!
Thank you so much for sharing one of your favorite artistic movements with me! I also really love Japanese culture! It's very fascinating, and lots to learn and explore.
Thank you again, Russell, and hopefully we get to inspire one another! Wishing you all the very best! Stay creative and have fun!🥰🥰
Hi @russelschaeffler I wanted to say thank you for sharing Nihonga style with me and I'm really grateful to you that you introduced me to this art movement and style! I really enjoyed learning more about it and super excited to discover more about it too! Really happy I made this video about "Nihonga style!" Thank you for sharing what you love! I really appreciate it! czcams.com/video/cK04EB6HNTA/video.html
A very nice analysis, but. But. I beg you. Mucha is a Czech name. Ch is not pronounced the same as in English, but more like just "h". Check out Wikipedia, they provide the correct pronunciation.
Thank you so much and OMG I'M SO SORRY! I'll make sure to check that out and correct that in future videos! I learned something new! Thank you again for pointing that out to me! I really appreciate it! 🥰🥰🥰
I’m noticing a LED light strip style
Oh wait where!!???? In Art-Nouveau!!?? Please describe more of what you mean! I would love to know! This is so interesting! Please and thank you!
By "colour", I think you mean "hue." What you are showing is the Hue Wheel (it is a misnomer to call it a "colour wheel"). Mucha (pronounced MOO-ka, by the way) used any of the normal hue schemes used by everybody else, but he mutes them (lowers the chroma). Muted colours produce a beautiful harmony. They have a conversation among themselves, while fully high-chroma colours shriek at each other. Like every other painter since the 1500s, Mucha adapted his hues and their chromas to a well designed value scheme.
Yes, exactly. There are many different ways of calling it but if you would prefer to call it the Hue wheel, that works too! Yes lol I have been informed that it was supposed to be pronounced with an "h" instead of "ch"😅🤣 (you can check the comment below of what one of the people mentioned) But thank you for letting me know. I'll keep that in mind.
Very well said. Muting the colors really does help make it less intense and more harmonious! It's amazing how well he's adapted his hues and their chromas to balance out and dance together with the designs he created.
Thank you for commenting and sharing your thoughts! Looking forward to sharing more with you!
