Wurzblatt (Wallpaper Design) c. 1915

"Wurzblatt (Wallpaper Design)" is a repeating pattern design for wallpaper created by Austrian designer Dagobert Peche, circa 1915. The design features black stylized tulips and leaves on a yellow background, creating a simple yet elegant pattern. This design, currently at the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies Peche's work in the Wiener Werkstätte, an influential Austrian design movement emphasizing craftsmanship and artistic unity in everyday objects. Peche's wallpaper designs, known for their geometric shapes and stylized natural forms, are a significant contribution to the Art Deco movement.
