Prisms-33
1931
Bursting with the electric energy of the early 1930s, this vibrant geometric pattern features overlapping, fan-like shapes that look like stylized seashells or feathers. Set against a sunny yellow backdrop, sharp zig-zags in bold red, orange, and teal create a dizzying, rhythmic contrast. Emile-Allain Séguy created this piece for his famous 1931 portfolio 'Prismes,' a collection of stunning designs originally intended to inspire the fashion and textile industries of the Art Deco era. It's a perfect snapshot of a time when graphic design was all about bold color and modern geometry.
