Considered one of Art Nouveau's most innovative and talented creative forces, Eugène Grasset is today remembered for depicting women with great elegance. 

Born in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1845, he worked mainly in Paris during the Belle Epoque in various creative design fields.

He studied drawing and architecture in Zürich. After completing his education, his family took him to Egypt. This experience would later be reflected in a number of his poster designs. 

Grasset's versatility as a designer was genuinely remarkable. He left his mark on many creative fields, from furniture to wallpapers, fabrics to tapestries, ceramics to jewelry. His architectural woodwork elements were integrated into buildings, showcasing his diverse skills. 

In 1877, he turned to graphic design, and poster art quickly became his forte. Grasset was known for ornamental elements, including flowers, trees, and plants. These elements were full of curvy and circular motifs, delicate and sophisticated, and perfectly delivered in the Art Nouveau design.

With the rising popularity of French posters in the United States, Grasset's influence quickly transcended borders. Several American companies sought his expertise, leading to his first American commission in the 1880s. His cover design for the 1892 Christmas issue of Harper's Magazine was a testament to his growing influence. Grasset's work for U.S. institutions, characterized by its unique blend of European and Eastern influences, played a significant role in introducing the Art Nouveau movement to American art, a legacy that continues to be appreciated and celebrated.

In 1896, Grasset created the La Belle Jardiniere series of calendar images. We liked them so much that we didn't want to choose between them, so we created this calendar collage with some of his other wallpaper designs.

The perfect gift for wooden jigsaw puzzlers, this traditional adult wooden jigsaw puzzle can be done time and again. Our wooden jigsaw puzzle artists have included many shaped whimsy wooden jigsaw puzzle pieces that match the themes of the paintings, and we have integrated them in ways that will delight and surprise you as you put the wooden jigsaw puzzle together.

Eugène Grasset

Eugène Grasset, a Swiss-born artist and designer, pioneered the Art Nouveau movement. Born in Lausanne in 1845, Grasset initially studied architecture before relocating to Paris, where he delved into the world of decorative arts. His versatility as an artist allowed him to excel in various mediums, from illustration to poster design, stained glass, textiles, and furniture. This adaptability was instrumental in establishing him as a key figure in the shift from traditional fine arts to modern graphic design.

Grasset's work is characterized by its elegant lines, natural motifs, and harmonious compositions. He gained widespread recognition for his poster designs, with works like La Belle Jardinière and Jeanne d'Arc as prime examples of his mastery of color and form. His style, influenced by nature and elegant lines, not only inspired a generation of designers and artists, including Alphonse Mucha but also laid the foundation for modern advertising and visual communication. Grasset's influence in these fields is a testament to his enduring impact and the appreciation he deserves.

Throughout his career, Grasset remained steadfast in his belief that art should be beautiful and functional. His holistic approach to design, rooted in the unity of art and craft, mirrored the ideals of the Arts and Crafts Movement while foreshadowing the stylistic innovations of Art Nouveau. Grasset's passing in 1917 did not diminish his influence. His legacy as a visionary and innovator continues to shape graphic design and decorative arts, connecting us to his enduring artistic philosophy.
