"Hans Christiansen was a German painter and illustrator and a main contributer to the Jugendstil/art nouveau movement. Early on, he took an apprenticeship as a decorative painter in Flensburg from 1881 to 1885 and then enrolled in the School of Applied Arts in Munich in 1888. After a study trip to Italy in 1889, he moved to Hamburg where he taught at a technical college. At the same time he worked as a freelance decorative painter and actively contributed to the “Volkskunst-Verein”, trying to bring about a reform based on the model of the Arts-and-Crafts movement.
In 1895 he gave up his job and went via Antwerp to Paris to study at the “Academie Julian” from 1896 to 1899 . In 1899 he was appointed Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse in the Darmstadt artists’ colony on the Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt for which, alongside Joseph Olbrich and Peter Behrens, he designed furniture, ceramics, tapestries and stained glass and graphic posters. He also designed his own house in the colony which he named “Villa Rose” later sadly was destroyed in World War. During this time, Christiansen was also a regular contributor to the magazine Jugend producing numerous illustrations and covers.
From 1902 he settled Paris where he worked as a painter and from 1911 on taught at the School of Applied Arts in Wiesbaden. From 1933, his work was banned by the Nazi party because of his Jewish wife and was largely forgotten until his death in 1945."

"H. L'Illusion (L'Estampe Moderne I), " Color Lithograph
By Henri Bellery-Desfontaines
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"H. L'Illusion (L'Estampe Moderne I)" is an original color lithograph by Henri Bellery-Desfontaines. This piece depicts a nude child before a dream-like woman in a blue translucent robe. This piece was published in the French Art Nouveau publication L'Estampe Moderne. Signed in plate.
15 3/4" x 12" art
Henri Bellery-Desfontaines , born with Paris in 1867 and dead the October 6th 1909, is a French Noveau artist Jack-of-All- Trades, who produced tables, illustrations, posters, lithographies, drawings of carpet, pieces of furniture and banknotes, and even dabbled with decoration & architecture.
In the 1900s, Paris was the perfect place for a group of young artists influenced by artistic currents like neogothic style or symbolism. Most of them started as painters and they switched later to decorative arts, attracted by the idea of an ever-present art, a lifeless art, a total art. Henri Bellery-Desfontaines was a member of this group and he started as as painter in Pierre-Victor Galland’s atelier. He entrusted him the decorative motifs which would frame Panthéon de Paris' drawings: Maillot, Bonnat, Humbert and specially Jean-Paul Laurens, who proposed him to join his atelier in l’École des Beaux-Arts de Paris. With him, he decorated l'Hôtel de Ville de Paris or Le Salon Lobau, Henri Bellery-Desfontaines is thought to have Luc-Olivier Merson (1846-1920) as a teacher.
During his years as a student, he started to illustrate magazines and books of tales and in 1895, Bellery-Desfontaines opted rapidly for illustration, probably due to financial problems, and he participated in magazines such as L’Image, L’Estampe Moderne or L’Almanach des Bibliophiles. This year, the Salon des Artistes Français hosted one of his design of tapestry.
From 1900 on, he gradually evolved toward an ambitious decorative artist, making tapestries and furniture for rich leaders and patrons. Bellery-Desfontaines was an important artist of his epoch, and he took part in numerous events like Bal de...
