Eugene Grasset Biography

(b lausanne, 25 may 1841; d paris, 23 oct 1917). french illustrator, decorative artist and printmaker of swiss birth. before arriving in paris in the autumn of 1871, grasset had been apprenticed to an architect, attended the polytechnic in zurich and travelled to egypt. in paris he found employment as a fabric designer and graphic ornamentalist, which culminated in his first important project, the illustrations for histoire des quatre fils aymon (1883). grasset worked in collaboration with charles gillot, the inventor of photo-relief printing and an influential collector of oriental and decorative arts, in the production of this major work of art nouveau book design and of colour photomechanical illustration. grasset used a combination of medieval and near eastern decorative motifs to frame and embellish his illustrations, but most importantly he integrated text and imagery in an innovative manner which has had a lasting influence on book illustration.
