Art Nouveau

With its signature long, organic lines and muted colors, Art Nouveau started as an architectural style before it broke into the art world. The lines were often inspired by nature, specifically blossoms and plants. The art style was started by the middle class and aimed to topple the hierarchy of fine art that existed during the turn of the 20th century.

While the movement historically ended in 1905, influences of Art Nouveau can still be seen today across mediums. Chuck Sperry, an artist on display in Pushing the Press at the Schneider Museum of Art, is an example of a modern artist drawing inspiration from this classic art style. Learn more about the longevity of Art Nouveau with the link above, and come visit the museum to find the Nouveau elements in Sperry’s work today.

Inkjet

Many of Richard Prince’s works use Inkjet cartridges to achieve the purest CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) colors. Used mainly for printing, printers will use Inkjet cartridges to create a wide variety of color by mixing the four tones at varying levels. Learn more about how color printing is achieved with Inkjet with the link below, and visit the Entry Gallery in the Schneider Museum of Art to see if you can find the CMYK in Richard Prince’s Super Group.

The Schneider Museum of Art is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma, and Latgawa peoples who lived here since time immemorial. These Tribes were displaced during rapid Euro-American colonization, the Gold Rush, and armed conflict between 1851 and 1856. In the 1850s, discovery of gold and settlement brought thousands of Euro-Americans to their lands, leading to warfare, epidemics, starvation, and villages being burned. In 1853 the first of several treaties were signed, confederating these Tribes and others together – who would then be referred to as the Rogue River Tribe. These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. At the end of the Rogue River Wars in 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (https://www.grandronde.org) and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (http://www.ctsi.nsn.us/) are living descendants of the Takelma, Shasta, and Latgawa peoples of this area. We encourage you to learn about the land you reside on, and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people.
