George De Feure, known as "the poet of the poster", lived from 1868 to 1943 and was a prolific artist of the Art Nouveau style. He was born in Belgium and worked mostly in France. He created his art and designs through a variety of media: painting, furniture, glass windows, pottery, carpet and jewelery. He also did work as a set designer and interior designer.

At VMFA there are many great artworks in the Art Nouveau gallery. Two works I got pictures of by George De Feure were a poster and a stained glass window of his design. His designs are very elegant and often depict women in stylish gowns. I love the graceful forms and classy females of George De Feure's designs. I'll probably use some of his posters as inspiration for the Graphic Design course next semester.

I also fell in love with many other works by other artist in the Art Nouveau gallery. So I'll just go ahead and post it here. Enjoy! :)
