Georges De Feure, Maitre du Symbolisme et de l'Art Nouveau (French Edition)
I madly love these arabesques of dimmed nuances. This teeming mass of tangled lines which are flowers, fabrics and landscapes. I love these "princesses" with gem-like eyes and sinuous lips. They close upon bad secrets. An impure ferment seems to swell their gorged flesh with the magnolia flower s soft white tint, whilst their baroque opulence shows in each novel jewel which ornaments their nervous fingers." (Georges Barbier) Georges de Feure must be the exemplary "universal artist" of the late 19th-century. His talent is manifold: he was not only a symbolist painter and illustrator, but also a poster-artist. And he played an important role as artist-decorator in the Pavilion of Art Nouveau, in the 1900 universal exhibition.. Price: $90.00
