Société des artistes indépendants : catalogue de la 24me exposition, 1908

Société des artistes indépendants (Paris, France) · 1908 · Paris : Société des artistes indépendants · 3 pictures

This 1908 exhibition catalogue from the Société des artistes indépendants in Paris lists works shown at its 24th annual show, produced for the public and collectors of avant-garde art. Its three pictures are small black-and-white pen or wood-engraved vignettes: a framed woman with a palette and brushes, a windmill in a round medallion with a monogram and a signature, and a open cigarette-paper or cigar box stamped with a Paris maker's name. A designer might take their loose hatching, oval and circular framing, and compact vignette format as models for period headpieces and labels.
