L'Art à l'École
L'Art à l'École is a French teaching manual of 1908 by Maurice Boukay, published in Paris by Larousse for school teachers and pupils who were learning to draw and see art. Its pictures are small black-and-white reproductions: a rotated photograph of a schoolyard group, a line drawing of a woman seated in a garden beside irises within an ornamental oval frame, a photographed building facade with arched windows, and a simple vase of flowers in grey tone. A designer might take from them the clean line decoration, the Art Nouveau garden framing, and the economy of tonal flower studies.
