Moderne Pflanzenstilisation: methodisch dargestellt von Max Lippold; 30 Tafeln nebst Text
Moderne Pflanzenstilisation is a 1901 German pattern book by Max Lippold, a set of 30 plates with accompanying text, teaching stylised plant forms for designers and decorative artists in the Art Nouveau manner. The plates show water lilies, flowers, buds and stems arranged as borders, repeats and framed panels in flat colour. A designer can take from them the method of reducing natural plants to rhythmic linear motifs that work as border strips, all-over repeats and corner pieces.
