About the Item

Good condition. Dimensions: H: 17cm D: 17.5cm Louis Sue: Painter, architect and decorator of the Art Deco period. Great-grandnephew of the writer Eugène Sue, particularly famous for his books “The New Mysteries of Paris”, and “The Wandering Jew”. Participates in the 1st class competition, with a gymnasium project, for which he is rewarded with a medal. In 1901, then aged 26, Louis Süe qualified as a DPLG architect (Government-certified architect diploma). 2 years after his diploma, Louis joined forces with another architect, Paul Huillard, to found his architectural agency. His work for artists' offices and studios allowed him to quickly expand his network, and he became friends with the great fashion designer Paul Poiret and the furniture designer André Goult. In 1912, Louis joined forces with the interior designer André Mare as well as the brothers André and Paul Véra to found the Ateliers français. These workshops are based on the same principle as the Viennese artisanal furniture workshops of Hoffmann. Paul Poiret had previously introduced Louis Sue to this workshop whose objective was to produce quality furniture at moderate prices. After the Second World War, Louis and his associates went even further and founded the Compagnie des Arts Français. This time it is a workshop for the design and manufacture of quality furniture at prices affordable by the majority of French households, and above all available for purchase by mail order. André Mare: Painter, designer who belonged to the Cubist artistic style. One of the founding artists of Art Deco. His training was that of a painter, but from the 1910s he began a career as an interior decorator. In 1919, he was responsible with Louis Süe and Gustave Louis Jaulmes for the decorations of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe to commemorate the Victory Day celebrations. The team, under the direction of André Mare, erected a cenotaph, a monument to the glory of the combatants in front of which the allied troops paraded on July 14. He also founded the “Compagnie des arts français” in association with Louis Süe, creator in 1912 of the “Atelier français”. They are interested in everything related to interior decoration with the aim of offering the public “serious, logical and welcoming” sets. André Mare embellishes the furniture, the wallpapers, the fabrics, with his famous “flower baskets” and other sprays of roses, which characterize the 1920s. Global interior designer, over eight years with Louis Süe he designed nearly two thousand models, and composed fifty to sixty sets including the decoration of the French embassy in Warsaw, part of the French embassy in Washington, the private mansion of fashion designer Jean Patou in Paris, the grand salon of the Île-de-France liner and the luxury cabins of the Paris liner. He is also a costume designer and bookbinder. In 1921, Maurice Ravel entrusted him with the set and costumes for his new ballet, L'Heure Espagnole, created at the Paris Opera. For the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts of 1925, Süe and Mare designed two domed pavilions, including the one named at the Museum of Contemporary Art, with a large lounge in the center of the rotunda. In 1926, he was named Knight of the Legion of Honor following the Exhibition of Decorative Arts. In 1927, André Mare decided to no longer be the technical director of the Compagnie des arts français for health reasons. He devoted himself exclusively to painting, which he had abandoned for around ten years in favor of decoration for the Compagnie des arts français.
