Vlinders Pl.20
1920
Emile-Allain Séguy, a French entomologist and artist, turned the delicate wings of moths and butterflies into bold, graphic masterpieces in this 1920 plate. Originally created as a portfolio to inspire textile and wallpaper designers, the vibrant geometric patterns and flat colors perfectly capture the transition from Art Nouveau to Art Deco. You can almost see these stylized insects fluttering off the page, ready to be printed onto a fashionable 1920s dress! His work remains a favorite among designers today for its incredible ability to blend scientific observation with pure decorative flair.
