Examples of work

There is a great variety in the kinds of images and motifs which appear in Alice Hagen's work. Some works depict naturalistic or figurative imagery while others have Asian imagery or Art Nouveau motifs. Her taste for such various decorative styles and images was informed by the eclecticism of the late 19th century. Hagen used published designs, illustrations, paintings and less often nature as the sources for her china decoration. Because of the popularity of china painting, books and journals with information on techniques and patterns for decoration were widely available, such Robineau's "Keramic Studio".
