| Return To Previous Page Benedictus, Edouard 1879-1930 This talented graphic artist worked in Paris and achieved his greatest success in the watershed years following World War I. He established himself as a painter, a bookbinder, and an outstanding designer of textile and wallpaper patterns. Benedictus' designs were intended to inspire manufacturers of fabric and wallpaper rather than to be end products in themselves. He specialized in designs for the use of artificial silk by the firm of Brunet, Meunie et Cie. Benedictus' pochoir colored albums of exciting motifs reflect the Art Deco aesthetic at its finest. His designs capitalized on the geometry of the style, effectively incorporating the Cubist art movement into the decorative arts.   | | |
