About La Plante et Ses Applications Ornementales:
This collection was produced and edited by Franco-Swiss decorative artist Eugene Grasset. The book is a wonderful pictorial summation of Grasset's key idea concerning the use of natural forms as the basis for developing decorative motifs. Each piece was executed in stunning color, requiring several runs through the printing press (one for each color) to acquire such vibrancy.
