Nice Art Nouveau Poster Design photos

HOMAGE TO ALFRED ROLLER »The Vienna Secession« (for widescreen displays)
art nouveau poster design
Image by arnoKath
This Wallpaper 1920x1200 is a homage to the Austrian painter and graphic designer Alfred Roller. The lettering is a »remake« of a poster Alfred Roller designed for a Secessionist exhibition in 1903.

Typeface in use:
The Alfred Roller revival by Tom Wallace (HiH) »Roller Poster«.

Roller Poster
In 1902, Alfred Roller created a poster to advertise the 16th exhibit of Austrian Artists and Sculptures Association, representing the Viennese Secession movement. The exhibit was to take place in Vienna during January & February 1903. The location is not mentioned because everyone in Vienna knew it would be held at the exhibit hall in the Secession Building at Friedrichstraße 12, a few blocks south of the Opernring, near the Naschmarkt. Designed by Joseph Maria Olbrich in 1897, the building has been restored and stands today as one finest of the many fine examples of Art Nouveau architecture in Vienna . Because of its dome it is called “the golden cabbage.” The poster itself is unique. The word “secession” is in one type style and takes up two-thirds of the elongated poster. At the bottom of the poster are the details in a different lettering style. It is this second style at the bottom that is the basis for the font ROLLER POSTER. In keeping with our regular naming conventions, we were going to call it Roller Gezeichnete (hand-drawn), but the wonderful play on both words and the shape of the three S’s in secession was too compelling.

Oxford University Museum of Natural History
In the 1840's science was at a low ebb within the university. Thomas Acland the guiding light behind the building was determined to redress this deficiency within the great university. It was Acland a personal friend of John Ruskin that was primarily responsible for igniting Ruskin's enthusiasm for the project, which eventually reflected as much upon Ruskinian principals as it did upon Acland's initial vision.
The Museum next to University Parks and preceding Keble College (now opposite)1860 by Deane and Wooward fortuitously coincided with Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species". The building is remarkable as it records this period faithfully but reflects John Ruskin's influence upon the upon architecture and a meeting of artistic and scientific ideas in this seminal period. The museum also hosted the celebrated meeting of The British Association at which Thomas Henry Huxley defended Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection against Rt Revd. Samuel Wilberforce the then Bishop of Oxford.The building was built in a gothic style however its construction was in modern materials and was forward looking, although perhaps its iron and glass interior owes something to Paxton's Crystal Palace, though certainly not in its style which has been described as a Belgian wool hall rather than a Venetian Palace as favoured by Ruskin. The building does however reflect in a physical and artistic form the ideas and principles that shaped Ruskin's thought and life and is in stark contrast to almost any other secular building of the period,

The building both inside and out is covered in some of the finest stone-carving of the Victorian era to be found anywhere in Britain. Much of this was done under Ruskin's direction, see James O'Shea's work (window west front). Ruskin believed that much of the design and ornament should be left to the workers themselves once the main architectural principles had ben established. This was the first building where the O'Shea brothers of Ballhooly, Co Cork were employed.

This building's interior is like a forest of iron and glass, the spandrels are richly decorated and the capitals comprise of elaborate foliage. These were wrought by Francis Skidmore of Coventry.

I love quick one-off 'posters' where you can be as silly and unapologetic as possible.

The ascii art is from a party invite i got. kim il-sung makes the subtext totally appropriate, but it's especially great that instead of my favorite trope of spot color halftone to instead rock out the ascii art.

Personally, i love to vote.

Herb Ryman Disney Legend at the Disney Legends Plaza

Herb Ryman (Imagineering)
Inducted 1990

In 1953, Walt Disney asked Herb Ryman to sketch an idea for an amusement park that would appeal to both children and adults. Over a single weekend, Herb took a small carbon pencil and illustrated Walt's dreams on paper. Within two years, those dreams were transformed into reality and Disneyland became the first theme park of its kind in the world.

Herb had an uncanny ability to intuit Walt's ideas into drawings. Perhaps, because, like Walt, he was a child at heart. Marty Sklar, president of Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) once said, "Herbie was like our own little Tinker Bell at WDI. He was always sprinkling pixie dust on everyone and he never grew up. He had a tremendous curiosity for everything and everybody."

Born June 28, 1910, in Vernon, Illinois, Herbert Dickens Ryman graduated from Chicago Art Institute, with honors, before moving to Hollywood in 1932. He worked as a storyboard illustrator at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studio on such classics as "Mutiny on the Bounty," "David Copperfield," and "The Good Earth." The latter film, about China, inspired Herb to take a year off and travel the world, in 1937, recording his impressions in a sketchbook.

The next year, back in Los Angeles, Herb met Walt Disney for the first time at a gallery exhibit of his work. Walt was so impressed with the paintings on display that he invited Herb to join The Walt Disney Studios. While Herb went on to serve as an art director for such feature-length animated classics as "Fantasia" and "Dumbo," Disneyland became the centerpiece of his Disney career. Among his contributions were designs for Main Street, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty Castle and New Orleans Square. In 1988, his 1964 painting of New Orleans Square was selected by the State Department for display at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. Herb also contributed concepts for the Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, and for attractions featured at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair, including Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.

A prolific artist outside of Disney, Herb produced watercolors, oil paintings, acrylics and charcoal sketches, which were collected by such people as Mrs. William Guggenheim, Cecil B. DeMille, and John and Lionel Barrymore.

Herb retired in 1971, although he returned a few years later, as a full-time consultant sketching numerous conceptual drawings for EPCOT, including the American Adventure and the China pavilion. He also developed the popular Hall of Presidents at Walt Disney World and the Meet the World attraction at Tokyo Disneyland.

On February 10, 1989, Herb Ryman died in Los Angeles, while working on ideas for Disneyland Paris, including a European version of Main Street, U.S.A.

Joe Grant Disney Legend at the Disney Legends Plaza

Joe Grant (Animation)
Inducted 1992

Story artist Joe Grant's career at The Walt Disney Studios has come full circle. In 1940, he contributed to "Fantasia" and 50 years later, he fathered the flamingo with a yo-yo storyline for the "Carnival of the Animals" sequence featured in "Fantasia 2000," a continuation of the original animated classic.

In fact, Joe has enjoyed two separate careers at Disney. His first began in 1937, when he contributed to the story and character development of such animated classics as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "Pinocchio." Then in 1949, he left Disney to pursue his own artistic ventures until 1989, when he received an unexpected phone call from feature animation, asking if he would consult on "Beauty and the Beast."

Since then, Disney animated films, such as "Aladdin," "The Lion King" and "Mulan" have benefited from Joe's talent and humor. Walt Disney Feature Animation president Thomas Schumacher said, "Joe is both a creative force and a touchstone. Not only is he among the most prolific artists in feature animation, but he's always willing to let me run an idea by him and I always get an honest assessment. I depend on him as a sounding board for what is appealing, charming and entertaining."

Born in New York City on May 15, 1908, the son of a successful newspaper art editor, Joe was educated in the newsroom by his father. His first professional break came when he was hired as a staff illustrator for "The Los Angeles Record," sketching weekly cartoons and caricatures of Hollywood celebrities. His drawings caught the eye of Walt Disney, who hired Joe to design caricatures for "Mickey's Gala Premiere," in 1933.

Then one day, Walt invited Joe to join the Studio and he soon became one of its top writers and gagmen. He also founded the Character Model Department, where characters were designed and visuals and stories developed. As head of the department, it was often said that no model sheet was official until it bore the seal "O.K., J.G."

Along with his writing partner Dick Huemer, Joe accompanied Walt and Leopold Stokowski on a retreat to select music for "Fantasia" and later, led its story development. He also co-wrote "Dumbo," which was inspired by a children's book. During World War II, Joe contributed to many patriotic-themed shorts including the Academy Award-winning "Der Fuehrer's Face." Other early credits include, "The Reluctant Dragon," "Saludos Amigos," "Make Mine Music" and "Alice In Wonderland."

After his return, Joe contributed to the visual and character development of "Pocahontas," "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "Hercules" and worked on a variety of other Disney animated projects.

Joe Grant died on May 6, 2005, in Glendale, California.
