The highly decorative works of the two French artists, Eugène Grasset and Paul Berthon, epitomise the fin de siècle era and its rich fusion of Medieval and Oriental, poetic and romantic tendencies. In the delicate linear designs of Grasset, and in the sensuous yet monumental work of his student, Berthon, we see the archetype of Art Nouveau woman. Sharing a broad and generous feeling for their art, these two major exponents of Art Nouveau worked in a variety of
media, designing posters and decorative illustra-tions for books, calendars, wallpapers, jewellery and ceramics.
In this first comprehensive study to be published on Berthon and Grasset, Victor Arwas gives a detailed and lively account of their lives and work and evaluates their artistic achievements. A wide range of their creative output is illustrated in both black and white and colour.
