Pierre Legendre (1932-2009) Accord II oil on canvas circa 1980 Measures: 116 x 81 cm. Pierre Legendre, born in 1932 in Haute-Marne, moved to Paris at the age of 22. After classes at the Estienne school in Paris as well as those of the Beaux-Arts, he worked for several big houses and was the originator of logos for big brands like Hermès or Nina Ricci. He entered the academy of the painter Henri GOETZ, which allowed him to familiarize himself with abstract, geometric art. He exhibited from the 1970s, as in 1979 at UNESCO in Paris. A discreet painter, he nevertheless participated in the 80s and 90s in many artists' salons (Comparaison, Grand et Jeunes d'Aujourd'hui, Réalités Nouvelles). Pierre Legendre is of deep integrity, of great moral rigor, his geometric and abstract art also reflects a quest for spirituality and philosophical reflection. Although denying itself to belong to Concrete Art, Legendre by its taste for purism and the immateriality of the straight line is not so far removed from, among others, the art of Jean Gorin...

Diana The Huntress A 19th century French Enamel Tazza Tazza with scalloped edges in polychrome enamel, painted on copper with red background and gold highlights representing Diana the Huntress painted partly in grisaille; translucent and red counter-enamel. Paris, Théophile Soyer (1853-1940) circa 1880 Théophile Soyer (23 July 1853-20 February 1940) His father, Paul Soyer, gold medalist in 1878, created after the 1870 war the famous work-shop at 4 bis, rue Saint-Sauveur in Paris, which produced innumerable pieces, including some for jewellery, furniture and bronze. Théophile took classes with Yvon and Levasseur and made his debut at the 1870 Salon with an enamel copy of a work by Le Barbier aîné. He then exhibited regularly from 1875 to 1882. After his marriage in 1879 to Léa, née Dejoux, nicknamed Lucie, a pupil of Lamunière, he shared the management of the firm with her, just as he shared the gallery in her company at certain exhibitions. He won a silver medal at the Universal Exhibition of 1889, then a gold medal at the one in 1900. He was president of the Société des éclectiques, a humorous society founded in 1872, and vice-president of the Chambre de la céramique et du verre de l'Union. Founded in Paris during the Second Empire, the workshop directed by Paul Soyer (1832-1903) and then his son Théophile (1853-1940) produced various objects, paintings, mirrors, trays, vases, bonbonnières. Based on new sources of information, an article in l’Objet d’Art magazine, publications Faton, presents an update of the Soyer biographical elements and an analysis of their production marked by the neo-Renaissance and then Art Nouveau. A book of accounts allows us to observe the models of enamel "paintings", often from Meissonier’s work. The Soyers have greatly contributed to satisfying the taste of painted enamels that grew from the 1860s to the 1900 exhibition...
