Peche was a powerful force among young artisans eager to establish a new vocabulary of design. These works reflect his modern fascination with geometry and contrasting color, though they were likely made by one of his students at the Wiener Werkstätte. wall description: --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS Harrison, Stephen. “All Creatures Great and Small.” Cleveland Art: Cleveland Museum of Art Members Magazine 61, no. 1 (Winter 2021): 17. page number: Reproduced and Mentioned: P. 17. url: --- IMAGES
