The echo, Chicago, May 15, 1895 1895

"The Echo, Chicago, May 15, 1895" is a striking example of Art Nouveau design by American artist Will Bradley. Created in 1895, it features a stylized figure of a woman against a simplified landscape, showcasing the movement's emphasis on flowing lines, organic forms, and decorative motifs. Bradley's use of bold black and white with touches of red creates a striking contrast, typical of the period's graphic arts. The image was originally a cover design for the Chicago-based publication "The Echo," highlighting the burgeoning influence of Art Nouveau on commercial design.
