Limited series of 50 copies, this one is numbered 24/50. Dish in good condition (slight chips, see photos). This platter has exceptional dimensions 46x36x6 cm. Around 1950s. Jean Picart Le Doux. Raised by his grandparents in Paris, since the death of his mother when he was five years old2. A student at the Condorcet high school, he abandoned his studies to devote himself to bookbinding at the age of 16. Without specialized professional training, Jean Picart Le Doux made his beginnings in bookbinding and publishing, then he moved towards advertising and graphic arts and published his first works in 19353. His first tapestry cartoons date from 1943 after having won the grand prize for theater poster at the Salon de l'imagery. He is the general secretary of the Plans4 magazine. Before the war, working with Jean Lurçat on a project for covers for the magazine Harper's Bazaar, the latter encouraged him to study tapestry. Between 1939 and 1945, he created his first cartoons without knowing the tapestry technique which he learned in 19452. With Jean Lurçat and Marc Saint-Saëns, they founded the Association of Tapestry Painters-Cartonmakers in 1947. Jean Lurçat is president and the latter two vice-presidents. In 1950, Picart Le Doux met two French graphic designers, Jean Colin and Jacques Nathan-Garamond, and two Swiss graphic designers, Fritz Bühler and Donald Brun, during an exhibition of their work in Basel. He then proposed the idea of an International Graphic Alliance (AGI). It was officially founded on November 22, 1952 and Picart Le Doux was its first president. Picart Le Doux is a great master of Aubusson tapestry, who produced more than four hundred original tapestries. Several of his works were selected for the decoration of the liner France, including the monumental tapestry The Phases of Time of the First Class Smoking Room5. He was a member of the board of directors of the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts in the Decorative Art section from 1975 to 1980. He exhibited, among others, at the Château de Vascœuil, in Normandy in 1974. In Paris he exhibited in 1970 at the Forney library6, in 1980 at the Musée de La Poste, on the occasion of the issue of the “Hommage to Johann Sebastian Bach. He is buried in the Père-Lachaise cemetery (87th division, box 10753).
