Kalenderblad voor oktober 1896 1895

Theo Nieuwenhuis's "Kalenderblad voor oktober 1896" (1895) is a calendar design featuring stylized grapevines and a gridded calendar for the month of October. The Dutch artist utilizes a decorative Art Nouveau aesthetic, evident in the flowing lines of the vines and the use of light and dark shades of blue and grey in the design. The calendar, with its Dutch days of the week, is framed by the grapevines, creating a harmonious composition that celebrates the beauty of nature. This design is a prime example of how Art Nouveau embraced natural forms and decorative elements.
