Synopsis:
Magnificent collection of handsome plates, meticulously reproduced from rare portfolio by Art Nouveau master that illustrated the application of animal forms in decorative art. Not only traditional, appealing shapes of graceful swans, peacocks and dolphins, but also finely detailed depictions of creatures seldom associated with beauty and ornamentation: bats, mice, lizards, and insects.
About the Author: The Art Nouveau movement originated in late 19th-century France, where Maurice Pillard Verneuil (1869–1942) achieved international renown as a leading designer in the new style. Verneuil was particularly interested in the decorative potential of flowers, and he created countless realistic and imaginative floral patterns.
