"Portrait of Eugène Grasset (1841-1917) from 'Les Hommes d'Aujourd'hui'" is a notable work by Swiss-born French Art Nouveau artist Eugène Grasset himself, who was a prominent figure in the decorative arts during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The portrait is part of a series titled "Les Hommes d'Aujourd'hui," which translates to "Men of Today." This series, which was a collaborative effort involving various artists and illustrators, aimed to document and caricature prominent personalities of the era, including politicians, artists, writers, and other public figures, providing a visual and cultural commentary on the society of the time.

Grasset's self-portrait for the series is significant as it offers insight into the artist's self-perception and his place within the cultural milieu of his time. As an influential figure in the Art Nouveau movement, Grasset's work in illustration, poster art, and decorative objects helped define the aesthetics of the period. His contribution to "Les Hommes d'Aujourd'hui" is particularly interesting as it reflects the intersection of art and journalism, capturing the essence of a period marked by rapid changes in technology, society, and the arts.

The portrait is characterized by Grasset's distinctive style, which often included stylized linear contours, flat areas of color, and an ornamental quality that echoed the organic forms found in nature. As with many of his works, the portrait likely features intricate details and emblematic motifs that reveal both the artist's personal symbolism and the broader visual language of Art Nouveau.

The "Les Hommes d'Aujourd'hui" series was published in the form of a periodical, with each issue featuring a different individual. These illustrations were accompanied by biographical text, often satirical in nature, providing context and commentary on the subject depicted. The series serves as an important historical document, offering a glimpse into the cultural and artistic landscape of France during a time of significant transformation.

The "Portrait of Eugène Grasset" not only represents the artist's self-image but also contributes to the understanding of the role of artists in the public sphere during the late 19th century. It remains an important work for scholars studying the Art Nouveau movement, the history of illustration, and the interplay between visual art and societal change at the turn of the century.
