EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour study by Georges de Feure, titled "Poster design, colour study," showcases the exquisite artistry and innovative spirit of the Art Nouveau movement at the turn of the 20th century. The image features a fashionable woman in an elegant and colourful costume, embodying the grace and allure of the Edwardian era. De Feure, born as Georges Joseph van Sluijters in 1868, was a Dutch painter, illustrator, and graphic designer, renowned for his mastery of colour and intricate line work. In this study, he expertly employs a vibrant palette of pink, orange, grey, and black, creating a striking contrast between the woman's tall, slim silhouette and the rich, decorative background. The woman's costume is a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the era, with a flowing, black dress adorned with delicate floral patterns and a tall, pink hat adorned with an orange blossom. The hat, a symbol of elegance and refinement, is crowned with a tall, ornate hatpin, adding an air of sophistication and glamour. The overall design is a visual feast for the eyes, with intricate floral motifs and organic forms that epitomize the Art Nouveau style. The woman's pose, with her head tilted and a mysterious smile playing on her lips, adds an enigmatic allure to the composition. This colour study is not only a beautiful work of art but also a historical document, offering a glimpse into the fashion and design trends of the early 1900s. The intricate detail and masterful use of colour make this a truly captivating piece, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance and opulence.
