EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite work of art showcases the water lily, Nelumbo lutea, rendered in intricate cross-stitch tapestry and relief mold patterns. The image is based on a lithograph by the renowned Swiss artist Eugene Grasset, titled 'Plants and their Application to Ornament.' Grasset, born in 1841, was a pioneering figure in the art nouveau movement at the end of the 19th century. His innovative designs were known for their organic forms and sinuous lines, which were inspired by nature and infused with a sense of fluidity and movement. The lithograph itself was created using a pochoir (stencil) technique, which involved hand-coloring each print with precise stencils to achieve vibrant and detailed results. The water lily, with its large, circular leaves and delicate white flowers, was a popular subject for Grasset, who appreciated its elegant form and the way it reflected the natural world around him. In this particular rendition, the water lily is depicted in fabric, with each petal and leaf meticulously stitched by hand. The relief mold patterns add an additional layer of texture and depth, bringing the image to life and creating a tactile connection between the viewer and the artwork. The overall effect is one of beauty, intricacy, and timelessness, making this a true masterpiece of art nouveau design and a testament to the enduring appeal of nature's most exquisite forms.
