Gabriel Argy-Rousseau was a master of combining the stark geometry of the Art Deco aesthetic that dominated during his time and the naturalism that he was so drawn to; this vase is a perfect example of a marriage between the naturalism of the previously popular Art Nouveau period and the more current architectural lines and compositions of the 1920s.
