Author Biography
The Art Nouveau movement originated in late-19th-century France, where Maurice Pillard Verneuil (1869-1942) achieved international renown as a leading designer in the new style. Verneuil was particularly interested in the decorative potential of flowers, and he created countless realistic and imaginative floral patterns.
