Staartstuk voor het prospectus van het Tijdschrift voor vercieringskunst 1896

This black and white design, created by Karel Petrus Cornelis de Bazel in 1896, is a striking example of Art Nouveau decorative art. The piece, which is a headpiece for a magazine prospectus, showcases the artistic style's penchant for flowing lines and organic forms, evident in the intricate, almost abstract design. De Bazel's use of swirling, interconnected shapes, combined with the emphasis on sharp points and lines, underscores the dynamism and energy that defined the Art Nouveau movement, making this a great example of how the style was incorporated into design.
