**************************

"Nouveau Peacock" was inspired by the Art Nouveau and Japonism movements. Japonism was a popular art movement among Impressionists and other artists working during the 1880′s-1905 when Art Nouveau was popular. In 1890 the École des Beaux-Arts featured a survey exhibition on the history of Japanese woodblock prints. Many artists, including Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947), Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901), and James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), were profoundly inspired by these prints and began to incorporate elements of East Asian art into their works. This trend proliferated and continues today. The cherry blossom tree in the background of this piece pays homage to the Japonism movement. The print's border is based off a Pencraft Ornamental Border design that I discovered in a 1925 Type Specimen Book. The rest of the image was designed around the border. The peacock is stylized, stressing flowing, curvilinear lines.

THIS IS NOT A DIGITALLY REPRODUCED PRINT! I designed it, transferred it to the block, and carved the block with hand engraving tools. I then inked and printed each one by hand in my in-house workshop.

Wonderful artwork. It’s beautiful and just what I was looking for! Peacocks represent a special memory in my life and I’m happy to have this piece displayed in my home. Packaging was wonderful as well! The frame I had picked out ended up being a little small. I’ll have to figure out how to cut it to fit with the edge style. Would appreciate any tips!
