The story behind
Who's there? Is that a rider hiding under the circles and squares? For this design, Gianpaolo Pagni found inspiration in a series of equestrian lithographs from the Imagerie de Nancy conserved in the Emile Hermès collection. Choosing to retain only the mount from this engraving, he has used stamps in geometric shapes to represent the riders' silhouettes in cubist style. The palm leaves all around are taken from a 16th-century bestiary. Where Renaissance meets surrealism, this design is a colorful and graphic homage to early abstract art.
