# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Art Nouveau: Stock vine ornaments stay superficial. Carry the line through the whole composition.
# - Symbolism: Piling up suggestion until nothing announces itself leaves an image of mood alone, so measure the distance between ornament and meaning and leave the viewer a way to the message.
