The illustrator, sculptor and painter Eugene Grasset was born in 1845 in the French speaking Swiss city of Lausanne. From his father, who was a master carpenter, he learned the practical methods of working with wood and many other materials. Eugene Grasset acquired his sense for lines, shapes, proportions and graphic precision during his studies of architecture at the ETH Zurich. After graduating, his family took him on an extended trip to Egypt in the late 1860s. During this excursion, Eugene Grasset found not only his adolescence, but also his life's work. On the one hand, the foreign culture awakened his interest in Egyptian art. On the other hand, the broadening of horizons and inspiring encounters gave him a strong enthusiasm for Japanese prints.
Back in Switzerland, he started his career designing posters. Soon he became active on almost all levels of artistic creation. In 1871 he settled in Paris, where he designed furniture, painted pictures and formed sculptures from gemstones. It was his work in colored glass that made him so successful. His customers were churches, coffee houses and rich families. Eugene Grasset is considered a representative of the Belle Époque and a pioneer of Art Nouveau. He taught at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris from 1905 until his death in 1917, where he taught numerous artists who later became famous. One of his most famous works is "The Wooly Horse". The picture was ordered by a magazine for a series about the life of Napoleon. It combines painting and illustration techniques and became so famous that it reproduced Louis Comfort Tiffany in coloured glass. © Meisterdrucke
