Jugend magazine 1898

This black and white illustration, created by German artist Fritz Rehm in 1898, is a prime example of the Art Nouveau style. Rehm was known for his intricate line work and use of organic forms, which are evident in this piece. The central image is a stylized female figure with a flowing hair, encased within a circular frame, symbolizing the beauty and femininity of the era. The intricate swirling lines and flowing shapes, reminiscent of nature, are characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement, which was a popular artistic style in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The illustration's overall impact is one of elegance and refinement, reflecting the aesthetic ideals of the period.
