The artwork titled “Poster. Historical exhibition of art objects in favor of injured,” created by Ivan Bilibin in 1904, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and represents the poster genre. The purpose of the poster is to promote a historical exhibition of art objects aimed at benefiting injured individuals.
This visually striking poster exemplifies the stylistic characteristics of the Art Nouveau movement, featuring intricate and elaborate designs. The poster prominently displays text in a traditional, decorative script surrounded by ornamental borders and floral patterns. At the top, an intricate depiction of a crowned eagle, an emblem of power and tradition, captures the viewer’s attention. The careful detailing in the eagle’s feathers and the symmetrical geometric and natural motifs on either side emphasize a harmonious aesthetic. The overall composition reflects both the cultural significance and the purpose of the exhibition, making the artwork not only a promotional piece but also a work of art in itself.
