PRIVAT LIVEMONT (1861-1936) MICHIELS FRERES. 1902.
33 3/8x19 7/8 inches.
Condition A: slight discoloration at edges.
The Michiel Brothers ran a tree nursery, and as Livemont's exquisite design suggests, they appear to have specialized in flowering shrubs and fruit trees. The mother and child he has illustrated are designed according to his flawless Art Nouveau style. From the elegant, stylized formality of the flowing hair, to the meticulous white outlining, it is an impeccable design. The pastoral colors are in keeping with the subject of the poster. This is the version before letters. Belle Epoque 1980 103, Gold 38.
