Rene Buthaud Signed "La Fée aux Griffons" Oil on Panel Painting
About the Item
"La Fée aux Griffons" (The Fairy with Griffins) by René Buthaud, after the original by Gustave Moreau.
Artist Bio: Rene Buthaud was seen as the most accomplished and important French artists of the Art Deco period, an opinion held to this day. He was a painter and also designed simple ceramic stoneware forms, made for him by local potters, and used crackle glazes with which to decorate them. He had worked with Jean Dupas and like many of the period he was also influenced by African tribal art, evident in those pieces where he used lusters or what he called ‘peau de serpent’ (snakeskin). Many of his best-known pieces are painted with supine female nudes. Work by Buthaud can be found in the collections of the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, among many others.

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.
