EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite lithograph print, titled "The Iris in Various Patterns," is a stunning example of the innovative designs produced by Swiss artist Eugène Grasset during the late 19th century. Grasset's work played a significant role in inspiring the Art Nouveau movement, a decorative arts style characterized by organic forms and sinuous lines. The print, created using the Verneuil lithography process and hand-colored with pochoir stencils, showcases the beauty and intricacy of the iris flower in various patterns. The iris, with its distinctive fan-shaped petals and vibrant colors, has long been a popular subject in art and design. Grasset's interpretation of the iris is not limited to stained glass, as suggested by the title. The patterns depicted in the print could easily be adapted for use in wallpaper and fabrics, further expanding the versatility of this elegant flower. The lithograph itself is a work of art, with the delicate lines and rich colors capturing the essence of the iris in a way that transcends traditional botanical illustration. This print, published in Paris in 1897, is a testament to Grasset's skill as a designer and his ability to capture the natural world in a way that is both beautiful and timeless. The intricate patterns and vibrant colors continue to inspire artists and designers to this day, making this a valuable addition to any collection of Art Nouveau or botanical prints.
