A series of six inks from Kuretake inspired by the Art Nouveau movement. Each 20ml ink bottle comes in a beautiful box decorated with Art Nouveau-themed motifs. Colors include:

• Zsolnay Green. The Hungarian glazes at the Zsolnay porcelain factory made this mesmerizing green famous during the Paris Expo.This ink draws inspiration from those brilliant glazes and matches many Art Nouveau motifs featuring nature.

• Concrete Gray. Sturdy concrete foundations revolutionized entertainment venues, shaping the nightlife and bustling streets of Paris. This gray ink enhances the other Art Nouveau colors as seen in the music cafe poster, Divan Japonais (Japanese Lounge).

• Mahogany Brown. The reddish-brown tones of mahogany are quintessential colors of the natural elements of Art Nouveau.A long-haired figure with butterfly wings on a flower, an elegant design in the Art Nouveau style with organic curves in the design.

• Perkin Mauve. Queen Victoria’s dress at the Paris World’s Fair made Mauve hugely popular in the era of Art Nouveau. Many Art Nouveau posters depict women in mauve dresses. Developed by William Perkin, this color was the world’s first chemical dye.

• Old Rose. This muted pink evokes the ethereal allure of Victorian Charm. The box office poster, Lady with Camellias, inspires the color of our Old Rose ink. A single camellia adorns the heroine’s hair, a poignant symbol of a love destined for tragedy, gradually fading away like the delicate petals of a wilting flower.

• Chrome Yellow. Inspired by colors manufactured in the early 19th century, this bright reddish-yellow ink is the quintessential color of Art Nouveau. The work is a touring poster for the Parisian cabaret Le Chat Noir (The Black Cat).
