# Cloisonnism × Les Nabis — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=cloisonnism+les-nabis
# Cloisonnism carries the structure. Les Nabis appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Cloisonnism (Style, 1888–1895) and its accent from Les Nabis (Style, 1888–1900). Structural cues: Thick, dark contour lines; Flat colour fields without shading; Decoratively simplified shapes; Colouring drawn from memory. Accent cues, used sparingly: Compositions conceived as decorative panels; Reversals of pattern and ground; Harmonies of muted intermediate tones; Subjects of interiors and daily life. Composition: Divide the picture into a few large cells, edge to edge, partitioned by heavy lines. Type and lettering: Set lettering outside the cells in black at the keyline weight, hand drawn or slab. Let one material quality come from the second style: Muted intermediate tones—dusty rose, olive, ochre—on matte, absorbent surfaces. Mood: Luxury, Intimacy, Calm. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Fin de Siècle Art, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Cloisonnism: Adding heavy outlines afterwards produces no division of colour, only an ordinary picture inside lines. Letting shading or depth back into the cells breaks the enamel like flatness.
# - Les Nabis: Matching figure and pattern too closely turns the picture into plain wallpaper, and who is doing what disappears. Sink the figure in, but keep its contour readable.
