About the Item

Ruhlmann, Genie de l'Art Deco (Ruhlmann Art Deco Genius), a special edition of the French magazine L'estampille, L'Objet d'Art published during the exhibition at the Musee Des Années 30 in Boulogne Billancourt, France in 2002. In November 1933, Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann left the artistic scene prematurely, not without marking the style of his time. In 1934, in the booklet published for the retrospective exhibition of his works at the Pavillon de Marsan, Frantz Jourdain, and Pierre Patout, his friends, paid him a final tribute. They want the furniture pieces of the prestigious modern decorator, so full of taste, originality, elegance, harmony, and technical perfection, to join the works of Riesener in the Louvre. Despite his friend's wishes, Ruhlmann experienced purgatory, like many great artists, and nothing came of it. If the chariot furniture won the Louvre by bequest of Marguerite Ruhlmann in 1959, the one that would become one of the symbols of Art Deco, just like Poiret for haute couture, Dupas for painting, Janniot for sculpture, no longer had the honors of a single exhibition. In the mid-1960s, renewed interest in the period revived its name, but the time for museum recognition had not yet come. We want to correct this injustice, in a way, today by presenting, thanks to the collection of his archives at the Museum of the 1930s, this exhibition entitled "Ruhlmann, a genius of Art Deco" in French public collections. This is a beautiful coffee table art book. Features: Title: Ruhlmann - Genie de l'Art Deco. Author: Bréon Emmanuel. Soft binding book catalog. Language: French. 106 full-color and black-and-white illustrations. 73 pages. Dimensions: 8.5 in x 11.5 in (21.5 x28.5 cm). Published in 2002 by L'Estampille, L'Objet d'Art. The book is in good condition, with minor wear due to regular reading.
