So I checked out this art book from the library, "Art Nouveau Drawings: the works of Mucha, Beardsley, Redon, Rodin, Klimt and other important Art Nouveau artists"

And you have a general sense of the aesthetic of Art Nouveau, yeah? Flowing lines, gorgeous women, fin de siecle/ Gilded Age etc etc

Well.

I've discovered my new favourite piece of Art Nouveau art

Please say hello to Laughing Spider by Odilon Redon (1881)

And I'd like you to know that this wikimedia picture is much brighter than the one in the book! Which is so dark and gloomy that I didn't realize the spider has a face!
