Botanical Patterns Creative Papers

By Anton Seder

Rich ornamental nature designs produced at the dawn of Art Nouveau, ripe for repurposing

German decorative artist Anton Seder (1850-1916) was a figurehead of the Art Nouveau and Jugendstil styles and one of its most profound influencers. He served as Director of the Applied Art School in Strasbourg and published many highly sought-after and lavishly produced design albums. Die Pflanze, an album of vibrant lithographs printed in Vienna in the late 1880s, epitomizes Seder's ornate and detailed style, with motifs drawn from nature. With lush foliage, twisting vines and enchanting woodland creatures, the intricate surface illustrations on view here blend architectural rigor with the graceful rhythms of the natural world. Featuring designs plucked from the pages of Die Pflanze, Botanical Patterns Creative Papers presents 16 of Seder's designs as poster-size perforated sheets that, once removed and unfurled, capture the dramatic spirit of Art Nouveau in a generous scale and versatile format.
