About the Item
This charming and exuberant posy of peonies immediately made me think of similar works by Marcel Dyf - but it is actually a work by the ultimate master of art deco, Jules Leleu (1883-1961). Leleu is of course particularly well known for designing luxurious interiors of ocean liners in the 1930s, and this is what makes our painting so special - it actually graced the walls of the mythical art deco ocean liner "France".
It belonged to the French General Maritime Company (CGM) who sold its collections in 1981 at a prestige sale at the Paris auction house Guy Loudmer. The painting presented here featured in the sale, with the auction house label still on the verso of the original frame.
Having studied painting, Leleu came to specialise in design and opened a Paris gallery, Maison Leleu in 1924 . He exhibited at the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, where he won a grand prize. Leleu designed the Grand Salon of the Ambassadors at the Society of Nations in Geneva and numerous French Embassies arround the world.

BIO Arthur Rosenman Ross was a key figure in automotive design at General Motors during America's "Golden Age" of auto design, the 1930's through the 1950s. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago from age 17, exhibiting a special interest for automotive renderings and the female figure. In 1934, he changed his name from Rosenman to Ross, fearing his Jewish ancestry could prejudice his career prospects. At age 20, he turned down job offers from MGM Studios in Hollywood and Duesenberg to work at General Motors alongside the Legendary Harley Earl in 1935. He was hand picked by Mr. Earl and assigned to GM's War and Camouflage Division in 1937 through WW2. It was during this pivotal period in which he executed some extraordinary military aircraft artworks, likely used between GM and America's military aeronautics companies in design preparation for WW2. General Motors played an important role in helping America's aircraft manufacturers preceding and during the war. Just after the war in 1945, Mr. Ross was rewarded by GM, being made Chief Designer of Cadillac, then two years later becoming Chief at Oldsmobile until his retirement in 1959. He was in large part responsible for some of GM's classic Cadillac designs such as the Cadillac Sixty Special, Fleetwood, LaSalle and GM's first concept car, the extraordinary Buick Y-Job. Mr. Ross was an exceptionally charismatic and vivacious man who quite by chance, befriended His idol, Salvador Dali at GM in 1955. They talked about art, cars and girls late into the evening, according to his son, Carter Ross. He had a gift in rendering the erotic arts...Category
