Part of me wonders if #ArtNouveau isn't the most #solarpunk of all the #art genres inspired heavily by natural designs and nature at its heart. Its only flaw is that during its time, class divide ensured much of the public didn't have access to it, and it was a beautiful for the rich but barely enriched the lives of the poor at the time. Who knows how it would have evolved if WWI hadn't broken out.
These days, thanks to digital design, image libraries and 3D printing available to the masses, everyone can enjoy that art style. I see little solarpunk art that embraces it though. Most of them learn more heavily on the #punk aspect of sort of the rough amateur yet community based wholesomeness that is at the core of solarpunk. Community focused art is almost jarring in terms of modern aesthetics. However i do wonder how well the blending of the two genres could make the movement pop more and draw people in who were unaware of it prior.
