From a virtuoso of the Art Nouveau style—intricate images rich in color and design These lovely, vibrantly colored floral illustrations, newly rendered by Marty Noble, were originally created by E. A. Seguy, one of Art Nouveau's great masters. Displayed in rich color combinations, his delicate interpretations and intricately woven images are perfect for textiles and wallpapers but will also inspire ideas for mosaics and stained glass. Borders, circular designs, repeats, allovers, and spots are prominent in a collection that has something to interest everyone who works with graphics.

History & Criticism

Dover Publications

"Little is known about E. A. Seguy (French, 1877-1951), other than he was one of the leading French pattern designers of the first three decades of the twentieth century. He combined art deco and art nouveau styles using striking color combinations and bold geometric decoration. He produced nearly a dozen albums of stylized nature-themed works, some of which were manufactured as textiles or wallpaper. The twelve artworks in this calendar are from Seguy's portfolio Papillons (Butterflies), published in Paris in 1924. They were created with the pochoir technique, a labor-intensive and expensive printing process that uses stencils to create clean lines and a wet appearance. All of Pomegranate's calendars are printed with soy-based inks on FSC certified paper, which means the paper has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and manufactured by an FSC certified printer. FSC certification promotes responsible forest management by ensuring that forestry practices are environmentally responsible, socially equitable, and economically viable.

Pomegranate

E. A. Séguy, a French designer of patterns and textiles throughout the Art Deco movement, was known for decorative albums inspired by natural forms. Responding to a lack of resources for decorative artists on the magnificence of winged insects, Séguy showcased the beauty of nature's architecture. Papillons is a marriage of art, technique, and the natural world. His exotic butterfly specimens were faithfully reproduced through the pochoir technique in which pigment is applied through stencils by hand resulting in depth and texture, giving specimens bold colors and details seldom seen without a microscope. He observed winged insects as "mechanical wonders" suggesting a wealth of vibrant decorative patterns for art and design through his compositions, which have been appreciated by both artists and scientists for almost a century. The twelve examples within this calendar were reproduced from the Papillons album in the collection of the Research Library of the American Museum of Natural History.All of Pomegranate's calendars are printed with soy-based inks on environmentally sourced paper.
