Le Japon Artistique: Japanese Floral Pattern Design in the Art Nouveau Era

Enchanting floral imagery from Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts to inspire anyone who loves art and design. Celebrating an era of dynamic and creative cross-pollination between Japanese design and European Art Nouveau at the turn of the last century, Le Japon Artistique features stunning floral imagery drawn from a variety of rare books held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Seldom seen outside the museum context, these lush botanical motifs are as visually enchanting as they are significant in the arc of Japanese art history—and this volume serves as both a reference for artists and a treat for art and design lovers in springtime or any season.
