No. In general the danish draughtsman and poster artist Sven Brasch cannot be called an art Art Nouveau artist in my opinion. Though Brasch made his debut (according to author Peter Holst Eriksen) already in 1906, the age of Jugendt/Art Art Nouveau, or Skønvirke as the movement was coined in Denmark, where Brasch was born and most of his life worked, he can more be attributed to the Art Deco style/movement.
His danish 1922 poster for the US produced 1917 silent feature film 'Cleopatra', starring Theda Bara, is said to be one of the finest danish examples of Art Deco. Some of his early drawings to newspapers, magazines etc. does have a hint of art nouveau-ish feeling to them though, especially when drawing women. But I find Brasch not easily put into a style-container, as he adopted/used several "styles". Hope this helped a bit. Jakob Persson
