About the Item
Beautiful large-scale Italian light sculpture dating from the 1970s clearly reflecting the influence of the Dutch 'De Stijl' movement and very much in the style of the work of the 'De Stijl' artists Georges Vantongerloo, Theo van Doesburg and Mondrian with nods also to the style of Frank Lloyd Wright. Please see image three which illustrates the oil painting titled 'composition number vii, the three graces' by Theo Van Doesberg from 1917.
This light can be used equally as both a wall applique or a table lamp.
The form comprises a black enameled steel 'De Stijl' style relief cut frame with a series of inset red and blue plexiglass diffusers of varying dimensions held in position and suspended on a series of internal springs. The internal fluorescent light source is reflected by a series of internal mirrors onto the rear of the plexiglass diffusers to further enhance the intensity of the lighting effect.
The internal light source is provided by a pair of fluorescent tubes complete with period 1970s ballast and starter unit, all in fully working order.
The light sculpture works perfectly as it is for our European clients who have a 220-240V electrical power supply.
A 240V-110V step down transformer will be needed for our clients in the U.S.A if they want to keep and use the original fluorescent light tubes, ballast unit and starter. A small and discrete step down transformer which plugs directly into an 110V wall outlet can be purchased cheaply and easily via amazon. I can help source this.

Sculptural Relief Table Lamp by Sculptor 'PH Jean' 1970 Brass Inox Lucite Signed
By Philippe Jean
Located in bergen op zoom, NL
Impressive handcrafted, sculptural relief table lamp by French artist and sculptor 'PH Jean'. The four beautiful relief panels, clearly influenced by the 'op art' movement of the period, are all composed from built up layers of white Lucite, stainless steel and brass, there are two different relief pattern designs set front and back and left and right ie matching relief patterns are set on opposing faces to each other , one pair of relief panels have a white Lucite background one of which bears the engraved artists' signature 'PH Jean' and the other two relief panels are set on a stainless steel background. Please refer to detail photos. The small inset base is composed from white Lucite.
The lamp has been rewired and still retains the original linen shade but this needs replacing as it is torn and stained and has only been kept as a template from which to make a matching new shade.
A classic piece of chic refined French design the kind for design often seen in a Philippe Grange, David Hicks or Francois Catroux interior, would look great alongside other classic French works of the same perios such as Maria Pergay, Philippe Hiquily, Michel Boyer, Guy De Rougemont, Francois Morrelet etc
Philippe Jean twice won the "lampe d'or of creation' in France , the gold prize for lighting design and also a silver medal at the 'Salon des artistes Decoratifs' in Paris during this period. Please see image 4 for a copy of an article which confirms these prizes.
PH Jean also designed a highly collectable illuminated coffee table for the highly prestigious and renowned Galerie Eric and Xiane Germain, Paris, 1970. The galerie Germain in Paris specialised in hign end, small edition furniture and design art by the best contemporary artists of the 1960s and 1970s including the famous 'siege homme' by Ruth Francken...
