Phone: (207) 853-4047
Jul 29 thru Aug 19, 2009. Jules Auguste Habert-Dys (1850-1924) was  
born in Fresnes, France. The Fantaisies Decoratives, published in  
1886, was a one year project with forty-eight lithographs issued in  
twelve parts. The colored gravures, many containing gold, were printed  
on papier du Chine by noted lithographer, Charles Gillot. The  
intricate patterns, featuring birds, animals, flowers, fish, insects,  
shellfish, and frogs, were designed for ceramics, plates and dishes,  
textiles, wall paper, vases, and jewelry. Habert-Dys adopted many  
elements of Japanese influence (Japonisme). Also found are elements of  
line and curve that later became an intrinsic characteristic of the  
Art Nouveau movement. Each of the prints is an original lithograph  
from one of the twelve parts printed in 1886. Reception: Friday, July
