Author description

Eugene Grasset was born in Switzerland in 1841. He moved to Paris at the age of thirty and became a graphic designer and teacher-an important exponent of contemporary arts and crafts ideals. His distinctive style appeared on posters, book illustration, ceramics, stained glass, tapestries, and the furnishings for the celebrated Chat Noir cabaret. His innovative work and the graphic textbooks he authored were an important inspiration for the art nouveau movement at the end of the nineteenth century. He died in 1917.
