Fine Art unboxing! One of my favorite Hermès artist, favorite Hermès scarves and now I have an original too! All Hermès scarves are by artists commissioned by Hermès to design a scarf— or many scarves. The artists signature is almost always included in the design, just like you’d expect with a piece of art. When you really become familiar with the artist, you’ll be able to recognize their styles, just like you’d recognize the difference between let’s say, Picasso or Mary Cassatt. So many of the artists have their own work outside the company, where naturally that signature style continues. In the case of Francois Houtin, he happens to have many incredible etchings very similar to a bunch of his designs for Hermès. I was SO happy when I found this little garden folly from his “Cabanes de Jardinier” series that looked exactly like his Hermès scarf, Les Cabanes. I think this is the start to a new series :)
