This qualitative study has attempted to complement a more objective beauty illustration sector by investigating art nouveau work for artistic expressions, analyze the formative characteristics of the art style focusing on the possibility of development and suggest beauty illustrations that meet the aesthetic standards of artistic values. The following results were found: First, for a theoretical review, the concept, types, background and progress of art nouveau were examined, and the concept, history and characteristics of beauty illustration were investigated. Second, after extracting the formative characteristics of art nouveau-style beauty illustration, the expression techniques and characteristics of art nouveau (abstractness of shape, naturalness of materials and mystique of color) were obtained through analysis on previous studies, For clear classification by characteristics, analysis standards were established. The abstractness of shape refers to the expression of geometric shapes using fluid, rhythmic line patterns (C-shaped or S-shaped curve) or asymmetrical shapes. The naturalness of materials includes both animals and plants as the main motif of art nouveau. Utilizing flowers, plant stems and animals with gorgeous colors and shapes as a motif, natural objects are applied to express the symbolic aesthetics of beauty and vanity. The mystique of color means the expression of art using soft, bright and exotic colors. Third, for the production of art work, they were divided into abstractness of shape, naturalness of materials and mystique of color based on the data collected. Six beauty illustrations were created using art nouveau as a motif.
