About the Item
Like many of his contemporaries in the 1920s and 1930s, in both America and France, Buthaud was fascinated with figures from classic mythology. Leda and the Swan was a motif he returned to repeatedly, in both ceramics and painting. This very fine example shows Leda being seduced by Zeus, who took the form of a swan, the coupling producing two children: Helen and Polydeuces. Buthaud was one of the greatest artists that France produced in its Art Deco heyday, and is best known for his sculptural female nudes, usually produced in ceramic or porcelain. Painting is gouache or oil on paper. Dimensions include matte and frame; visible painting is 19 inches high by 23 inches wide.

René Buthaud
René Buthaud was born in Saintes on December 14, 1886. He was a student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux from 1903–07 and on receiving a grant from the Bordeaux municipal authorities, went to Paris to study at the École des Beaux-Arts until 1913. Here he concentrated on painting and engraving. He was trained when he was very young by an engraver on silver who taught him how to handle a burin. In 1911, many of his portraits and landscapes were exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français. They were awarded the Attainville Prize, an honor comparable to the Prix de Rôme. His engravings would eventually receive the second Prix de Rôme in 1914.
