Onze kunst

Buschmann, P · 1902 · Antwerpen [etc.] J. E. Buschmann [etc.] · 33 pictures

Onze kunst is a 1902 Dutch-language art book published in Antwerp by J. E. Buschmann, apparently a collection of decorative art and design examples for a general artistic readership. Its pictures are black-and-white printed ornaments: bands of scrolling acanthus, stylised flowers and a single floral motif, all with bold solid blacks on white. A designer could take from them the simple two-tone silhouette of Art Nouveau-era border and panel patterns, with flowers and scrolls that repeat cleanly along a strip.
