Chinese Book Covers

These Chinese book covers for The Lord of the Rings are some of the most breathtaking stylized art I have ever seen.  There is more on the artist's DeviantArt gallery.

The style reminds me of art used in the 30s-40s for the interested layperson texts

Art Nouveau

I was definitely comparing it to some of my favorite art nouveau, especially in the simplified, slightly curving lines on the verticals... Not understanding a single Chinese character would drive me BUGNUTS--- But I'd still use these as desktops for my computer screen!
