Round Art Deco vases by Jean Dunand. Living from 1877 to 1942, he also sculpted and did interior design but is best known for his work with lacquer. French.
Japanese themed plates from Albert Racinet’s “L’Ornement Polychrome”, a pictorial work on the history of design that was published in Paris between 1869 and 1873 by Firmin Didot et Cie.
Paintings of birds by 20th century American artist Marie Hull. Mostly birds from Florida. A few from Mississippi. All cheerful.
More renditions of summer by 20th century painter Francisco Bernareggi. Born in Argentina, he went to Spain to study as a young man and painted there. Postimpressionist and a friend of Pablo Picasso.
Russian landscapes with a golden sky. Alexei Kondratyevich Savrasov, artist (1830-1897). Painted quite a few landscapes but I like these best.
Jugendstil chapter headings from “Innendekoration: mein Heim, mein Stolz ; die gesamte Wohnungskunst in Bild und Wort: 18,” published in 1907. From Darmstadt, too.
Black and white line illustrations of Jugendstil aspirational decor too. So more coming in another post.
Jugendstil silver by German silverworker/artist Patriz Huber (1878-1902). Mostly designed for Theodor Fahrner with one made for Martin Mayer. Member of the artists colony in Darmstadt from 1899-1902.
My second post featuring Jugendstil art that emerged from the art colony in Darmstadt. Very short lived but what amazing things emerged.
Gardens to dream in by German painter Heinrich Vogeler. Living from 1872 to 1942, he was associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting.
This is the second post in the blog of Heinrich Vogeler’s work, the other not being of gardens. It was a while back so check it out again if you like.
Eating outside in summer in the 19th century. Various artists from various places. All making you want to pack that picnic hamper now.
