Corletto designs were inspired by nature and figurative art and known for fine quality and craftsmanship. ART NOUVEAU POSTERS AND GRAPHIC ARTS: Art Nouveau poster designers, especially in the earlier years, had to work with the early technology of lithography, which in early versions limited the number of colors they could use. They are also very much influenced by Japanese prints, especially those of Hiroshige, with their flat planes and two dimensions, which were being popularized expositions in Paris during this period.
