Turn-of-the-Century Vienese Patterns & Designs
$11.95
Stunning sourcebook of 60 full-page, copyright-free designs—30 in full color and 30 in black-and-white—depict a marvelous selection of allover, subtly colored patterns for textiles, wallpaper, rugs, and wall hangings. Imaginative, Art Nouveau-inspired renderings of ferns, flowers, berries, human figures, masks, exotic dancers and a host of other subjects, reprinted from an extremely rare portfolio by a modern master. Several of these designs are either tessellations or nearly tessellations of lifelike motifs, prefiguring M.C. Escher's work by decades. 64 pages, 9-1/4" x 12-1/4".
