Adrien Désirée Etienne (France, Lorraine, 1885 -1961).
Generally called Drian, Adrien Désirée Etienne is still today known as a fashion illustrator of magazines like Les Feuillets d’Art in 1920, the Illustration, Harper’s Bazaar, Les Costumes Parisiens or the Gazette du Bon Ton. He was one of the closest friend of the French couturier Paul Poiret and the movie director Sacha Guitry. From 1907, he began his collaborationfor the magazine Femina. In 1912, he took part in Paul Poiret’s creations as a fashion designer: he was going to become one of the best fashion designer and illustrator of the 20th century.
He exhibited at the Gallery Levesque in Paris, during the exhibition “Les Collaborateurs de la Gazette du Bon Ton”. He illustrated novels and tales, created showcases in the US, made the decoration of the office of Molyneux and frescoes for Elsie de Wolfe, without forgetting the oil technique. He did a set of paintings on glass that was exhibited at the Parisian Gallery Charpentier in 1950. This technique requires a wonderful precision, because the painter realizes his work directly on glass
Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci (Rome, 1885 - Marlia, 1971)
Better known as Mimì Pecci-Blunt , the Italian noblewoman was an art collector, patron and nephew of Pope Leo XIII. Extremely volcanic, she was very active in the cultural field, opening numerous lounges, galleries and theaters. In 1919 she married Cecil Blumenthal, later changed to Blunt, a wealthy Jewish banker from New York, heir to an important collection of nineteenth-century French painting. His Parisian and Roman salons was frequented by artists and intellectuals of the caliber of Salvador Dalì, Paul Valery, Poulenc, Paul Claudel.
