Raised on a marble base and signed Cl.J.R.Colinet ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Height: 42 cm Width: 56 cm Depth: 21 cm Condition: Excellent Original Condition Circa: 1925 Materials: Bronze & Marble Book Ref: Art Deco & Other Figures by Bryan Catley Page: 117 SKU: 9176 ABOUT Colinet Claire Jeanne Roberte Colinet (1880–1950) was French sculptor of Belgian birth who worked during the early-to-mid 20th century. The subject matter of her best known work was primarily Arab female dancers. The majority of her career output in sculpture can be classified as being of the Art Deco style. Colinet was a frequent exhibitor at the Salon des Artistes Francais and Salon des Independents art exhibitions in Paris. Her sculptures, most of which depicted beautifully figured, energized, and dramatic female forms, were exhibited posthumously at the Paris Salon for nearly 30 years. Early Life Colinet was born in Brussels, Belgium, in 1880. Little is known about her life other than the artwork she produced during a successful career that spanned more than 40 years. As a woman, she was in the minority in her chosen field of sculpture during the era in which she worked and lived. Career At an undetermined date – probably around 1910 – Colinet emigrated to Paris, France, where she studied sculpture under the watchful eye of Jef Lambeaux and exhibited for the first time at the Salon des Artistes Francais in 1913 and became a permanent member of the organization in 1929. From 1937 to 1940, she exhibited at the Salon des Independents in Paris and joined the Union of Women Painters and Sculptors. Colinet's work is primarily done in the Art Deco style, and her models included odalisques, exotic dancers, jugglers and artists of cabaret. A number of her female dancer pieces were influenced by a revival of the Orientalism movement which had been popular in Europe from about 1860 to 1880. Her preferred casting material was bronze; however, a number of her most distinguished sculptures are chryselephantine, being a combination of both bronze and ivory. Colinet's sculpture has become highly desirable to collectors and, increasingly, is selling for exorbitant sums. At a Christie's sale on 4 May 2007, her Ankara Dancer...

A stunning French Art Deco stoneware vase by the renowned René Beauclair (1877-1960), produced at ODETTA, Faïencerie de la Grande Maison HB Quimper, France, ca.1920. The vase features the distinctive Shape #512 and is decorated with the rare and sought-after Decor #1321bis, which is a particularly limited design, making this piece all the more unique. With its elegant, geometric form and meticulously executed decoration, this vase exemplifies the sophistication of the Art Deco movement. Measuring 8.3" (21 cm) in height and 8.1" (20.5 cm) in diameter, this vase is in excellent condition, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship of its maker. A remarkable and rare example of French Art Deco ceramic art, it would make an impressive addition to any collection. From 1903, Jules Verlingue, at the head of the Faïencerie de la Madeleine, in Boulogne-sur-Mer, produced stoneware. In December 1913, a fire destroyed part of the Faïencerie de la Madeleine. The factory being poorly insured, its owner was forced to sell to Boulogne banker Henri Delcourt. Jules Verlingue will remain director of his former establishment. The funds from the sale will be used by him, in association with Louis Delcourt, doctor of law and brother of Henri, to acquire, in 1914, the earthenware factory of his friend Guy de La Hubaudière, in Quimper. When the Faïencerie HB restarted in 1917, everything was refurbished and equipped. In 1923, under the impetus of Jeanne Malivel and René-Yves Creston, the “Ar Seiz Breur” (Seven Brothers) movement was born. This group of Breton creators aims to revive Celtic art. suffocated by classic taste, modernizing it and adapting it to everyday life. This period is extremely rich, encouraged of course by the antistical Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. The HB Jules Verlingue and Bolloré factory is not lagging behind, thanks to the collaboration of the sculptor René Quillivic...
