ARTIST: MARY GOLAY (1869-1944) SIZE: 16 x 39 1/8 in./40.7 x 99 cm PRINTER: DESCRIPTION: Golay was an enigmatic female artist who was utterly devoted to the precepts of Art Nouveau and all the splendid excesses which that entails. Here, she tenderly guides us into the heart of some idyllically-Byzantine wonderland—a world filled with classical intoxications, where the dulcet notes of a deftly plucked harp and fleshy hibiscus transport us to an environment ripe with sensual indulgence. “Ancient Song,” as the design was named, is the Number 1 panel in Series #235 published by Clément, Tournier & Company of Geneva.
