Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the link between the concepts of mass culture, Art Nouveau and advertizing in the context of the western world with a special emphasis on Paris, fin-de-siècle.

The article focuses on posters and advertisements, as a blending of mass and formal art, designed by representatives of the Art Nouveau and displayed in public spaces.
