French artist Paul Ranson's most famous lithographic print Tigre dans le jungle (Tiger in the Jungle) shows a fearsome, attacking stance full of Eastern elements. The calligraphic lines contrast the tiger to the stylised irises.French artist Paul Ranson (1861-1909) founded the “Les Nabis” group of artists who pioneered the abstract art movement in Paris, alongside working with the impressionist artists. He aimed to create revolutionary art for the ever-modernising world in the late 18th century, using bright colours and delicate outlines.
