  • Philosophy of Art Nouveau
  • Period of decadence
  • Emphasis on excess
  • Pure evil is beautiful
  • No heaven, hell or sin
  • Emphasis on sameness
  • Characters almost cartoon like
  • Mediocrity is a sin (either be good or evil)
  • Contrasts of light and dark important
  • Perfection of line is beauty
