Onze kunst

Buschmann, P · 1902 · Antwerpen [etc.] J. E. Buschmann [etc.] · 28 pictures

Onze kunst is a Dutch-language art survey published in Antwerp in 1902 by J. E. Buschmann, aimed at a general readership interested in contemporary decorative arts and painting. Its pictures include a photographed interior with dark wooden furniture and a stained glass window, a black-and-white reproduction of a group portrait in a gilt frame, a hanging metal lantern with a conical roof, and a bold decorative initial letter cut in a dense scrolling pattern. A designer could draw on the sharp black-and-white contrast, the ornate lettering, and the Art Nouveau-era patterning of the initial and furniture.
