Prismas-2
1931
Emile-Allain Séguy’s 'Prismes-2' is a fascinating visual experiment from 1931 that bridges the gap between nature and geometry. Bold, zigzagging lines in electric blue and deep brown create a rigid, stepped structure, while swirling, cloud-like shapes in cream and chocolate burst forth like stylized waves or exotic flora. Although categorized under Art Nouveau, the sleek, abstract forms hint strongly at the Art Deco style that was taking over the world at the time. Séguy was a master of pattern design, creating works like this to inspire high-end fabrics and wallpapers, using flat, vibrant colors that still feel incredibly modern today.
