  3. Hello dear Stephilius! Thank you for the inspiration! I thought you might like that artist that had lived in Switzerland that also did a Gesamtkunstwerk. His name was Elisar von Kupffer. Here ist the link to his work: https://www.elisarion.ch/en/pictorial_oeuvre.html - Kindest regards, Susanne

    Peut-être Sinclair Bull influencé par Ruhlmann à la art deco.
