The prints are representative of Art Nouveau style in a variety of ways. For example the sinuous lines, incorporation of naturalistic motifs, pale female figures in draped flowing gowns, and nude figures, are typical of the style. In addition, like other Art Nouveau works, these images were clearly influenced by Japanese prints.<\/p>\n

Ars\u00e8ne Herbinier was a lithograph artist, born in Paris and a student of L.O. Merson, Eugene Grasset and Broquelet. He was a member of the Salon of the Society of French Artists (also known as the Salon de Paris) until 1909. Armand Gu\u00e9rinet edited and published numerous collections of illustrated decorative arts, architecture, and fashion books in the first three decades of the 20th century.<\/p>\n

Collections of prints like these were popular at the turn of the century, providing source material for designers of fabrics, wallpaper, ceramics, book illustrations, posters, and advertisements. The leading Victorian publication of this type was Owen Jones\u2019s Grammar of Ornament<\/strong>, first issued in a folio edition in London in 1856. Other trendsetting styles in art, design, decoration and fashion came from Paris. The best know are probably the works by \u00c9mile-Alain S\u00e9guy incorporating butterfly<\/a> and insect<\/a> motifs, and those by Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919), a professor of zoology, at the University of Jena, Germany. Haeckel\u2019s scientific illustrations depicted aquatic organisms such as radiolarians, jellyfish, sea urchins and so forth in flowing, aesthetically striking compositions, such as were included in his work Kunstformen der Natur [Art Forms in Nature]<\/strong> (1899-1904). Other prolific publishers of this type of work were Anton Seder, Armand Gu\u00e9rinet and Ars\u00e8ne Herbinier. Closely related to Seder\u2019s renditions of aquatic motifs were the designs of Emile Belet<\/a>. Indeed, various works by S\u00e9guy, Herbinier and Belet appeared together in a collection of color plates published in 1900 by Guerinet titled Peinture d\u2019Art Nouveau, 3e s\u00e9rie. In the summer of 2004, the Museum at FIT (the Fashion Institute of Technology) exhibited a print by Herbinier in a similar style, also published by A. Gu\u00e9rinet, from a collection called Frises, bordures, panneaux au pochoir [Friezes, borders, and panels in pochoir]<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Condition: Generally very good with the usual light overall toning, handling, soft creases, wear. Edges with a bit of wear and few short tears, can be matted out.<\/p>\n

Pair of prints from a series demonstrating floral ornament in Art Nouveau style compositions. One shows a slender woman in a flowing gown playing the violin, wreathed in vines bearing large pink flowers, which also forms the print\u2019s border. The other, a landscape at dawn, shows an elegant woman in a pale blue gown and shawl before a pond filled with water lilies and two nude bathers. That entire composition is set within an elaborate border decorated with ferns, butterflies and bows.<\/p>\n
