Born in 1881, Jean Achille Maurice Guiraud, is a French designer, painter and sculptor. A native of Toulouse and nephew of the sculptor Théodore Rivière, Maurice Guiraud-Rivière was a student at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he studied under the direction of Antonin Mercié, also his uncle's master.
Guiraud-Rivière exhibited in Paris, at the Salon of French Artists from 1907. He gained notoriety in particular for his female subjects sculpted in the Art Deco style, and whose bronze prints were mainly published by the famous Etling house. A “modern” artist, he also creates numerous subjects with sport, aviation or automobile themes, cars for which he creates the coveted mascots with great success.
Guiraud-Rivière was also an author of models for the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres be-tween 1911 and 1923. He was also the author of humorous drawings and orientalist-inspired watercolors painted during a trip to Morocco in 1933. Back from Morocco, he creates posters for the Chemins de fer du Maroc and Air France

“Primavera 1912-1972, Atelier d’Art du Printemps"
Alain-René Hardy, Faton Edition
Primavera 1912-1972: Atelier d’Art du Printemps
Primavera, “Spring” in Italian, was the first French department store to set up a creative workshop at the beginning of the 20th century.
The adventure began in 1912 with two Decorative Arts enthusiasts:
Pierre Laguionie (1884-1978), director of “Printemps” Department Store and lawyer René Guilleré (1878-1931), founder of the Salon des Artistes Dé-corateurs.
Their objective is to promote the craft of Art in the daily life of the French people on the motto of the beautiful and the useful.
Decorative objects and furniture (furniture, ceramics, glassware, carpets, up-holstery, wallpapers, etc.) must be beautiful, modern, of high quality and at affordable prices.
The studio acquired young decorative artists such as Marcel Guillemard (1886-1932) and Louis Sognot (1892-1969) for furniture, and for works of art and ceramics by Madeleine Sougez (1891-1945)active from 1920 to 1928, Claude Lévy (1895-1942) from 1919 to 1929, Paule Petitjean...
