A stylised Art Nouveau lithograph by Ethel Reed, 'Farewell' depicts a knight and woman in a moment of departure, rendered with elongated forms and a muted colour palette.
Ethel Reed (1874-1912) was an American graphic artist and illustrator, known for her distinctive Art Nouveau posters and book illustrations. She was one of the few American women to achieve international recognition in the field of poster design during the late 19th century. Her career, though brief, was marked by innovation and a unique aesthetic sensibility. Reed's work often featured stylised figures, bold lines, and a muted colour palette, reflecting the influence of the Aesthetic Movement and the emerging Art Nouveau style. 'Farewell' presents a scene of departure, rendered in a stylised manner characteristic of Art Nouveau. The composition features a knight standing rigidly with a spear, while a woman in a long gown embraces him. The figures are depicted with elongated forms and simplified features, typical of Reed's approach. The colour palette is restrained, dominated by browns, blues, and creams, which adds to the work's melancholic mood. The background includes abstracted trees and foliage, further emphasising the decorative qualities of the piece. The overall effect is one of poignant stillness, capturing a moment of emotional intensity through a refined and stylised visual language.
