The life
1845–1917Born Lausanne, Switzerland
Eugène Grasset trained in Lausanne and settled in Paris in 1871, where he designed posters, books, stained glass, furniture and even a typeface. He studied plants closely and taught a generation of designers how to turn them into ornament. Our card, In the Woods, first appeared in the art magazine L’Estampe moderne.
