digital book: Neue Dekorations-Malereien im modernen Stil. Serie I, 63p pdf 28mb

Description

The book offered here is a rare copy from the body of publications that served as catalogs and practical manuals for decorators of the Belle Époque. This is the First Series of the portfolio of Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) decorative painting designs from the turn of the 20th century, created by Jos. Lehner and Ed. Mader and issued by Friedr. Wolfrum & Co. in Vienna.

As the opening installment of the series, it establishes its entire decorative repertoire: it gathers color lithographs with ornamental solutions for ceilings, walls, friezes, rosettes, panels, and other interior and exterior architectural elements. These designs originally functioned as a pattern catalog for decorators and craftsmen: customers could purchase the corresponding stencils and transfer patterns for executing the paintings. Stylistically, the edition belongs to classic Jugendstil, with refined and intricate ornamental motifs.
