“Love and Vanity”
Münchner Jugend Zeitschrift 1916 – “Liebe und Eitelkeit” – Vintage Illustration Download
Art Nouveau illustration for your print project as a download! This subtle drawing “Love and Vanity” comes from the pen of Polish artist Edward Okuń and was created in 1916 for the famous Munich magazine Jugend. The motif shows a graceful woman in a magnificent peacock costume – a symbol of beauty, vanity and transience. Her seductive gaze, the flowing forms and the artistic splendor of the feathers reflect the self-image of the sophisticated society of that time. Love and vanity are closely linked: beauty as a means of seduction, but also as a mirror of one’s own ego.

Printing recommendation
A little tip for everyone: The illustration looks particularly beautiful on matte natural paper. A smooth surface that is white but not too bright white is ideal. This is how the colors come into their own.
