"Cover for Love," Maurice Denis, 1898.
Denis (1870-1943) was first a member of the Nabis, then later a Symbolist, then later a Neo-Classicist, and his writings were a huge influence on Cubism and other modern art movements. A deeply religious man, he founded (after WWI) an artists' collective dedicated to decorating churches, designing stained glass windows, and producing sacred art.
In the 1890s, though, he was all about decorative art. This piece is the cover to a book of lithographs that tell an ambiguous tale of a woman's experiences with love...but it's hard to tell if she's falling in love with a man, or with Nature, or with her faith. The images are all soft and dreamlike, anc contain snatches of poetry, but the quotes do not correspond to the scenes depicted.
Between the wars, he also became a noted muralist, doing many murals in public buildings around his favorite themes, his faith and his belief in peace and humanism. He was a fervent anti-Nazi, and rejected France's Vichy government. It took an automobile accident to take him down; he was seemingly unstoppable.
He's not a familiar name, but he was an important figure in the development of modern art.
From the Art Institute of Chicago.
