"Les Cyclistes" exemplifies Art nouveau (modern) with its dynamic curves, flowing lines, and organic forms inspired by nature. The painting captures a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of the style’s emphasis on Sketch and study techniques that emphasize fluidity. Its design reflects the use of modern materials and asymmetry, creating a lively composition that echoes the anti-classical, innovative spirit of the Art Nouveau movement. The artwork’s sinuous lines and natural motifs embody the style’s reaction against 19th-century academicism, celebrating modernity and artistic freedom during the Belle Époque period.
