Born in Paris in 1886, Clément-Serveau studied at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and also at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under Luc-Olivier Merson. Whilst at the latter he received the Chevanard award. In 1905, he started exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants. After leaving the Ecole he developed his repertoire to include mural decorations, nudes, landscapes, portraits and still lifes with flowers and fruits. Working predominantly in oil, he however was adept in the use of gouache, pastel and mixed media. He received a first-class medal at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1929 before beginning his long association with the Salons d’Automne and des Tuileries. He took part in major exhibitions representing French art organised around the world and was in charge of organising the exhibition “Artistes de ce temps”. He executed many beautiful mural decorations including the Plan des anciennes enceintes de Paris in the Musée Carnavalet and La France touristique for the Pavillon du Tourisme at the Exposition Universelle in 1937. He also illustrated many books. Clément-Serveau first produced works in a realist manner but he was soon interested in the new movements at the turn of century. He was influenced by his friend Marcoussis and turned towards cubism, utilising a tight layout and geometric patterns to show form and space. Later still he turned to abstraction. Through his different periods, he kept a very personal sense of Measure and harmony. His work can be seen in the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris and in many other French museums. He designed the French bank notes in 1946.

Art Deco Opalescent White Glass Vase by André Hunebelle
By Andre Hunebelle
Located in Miami, FL
Art Deco mold-blown Opalescent glass vase by the firm of Hunebelle; round in shape and with a pattern of horizontal lines and angular indentations running all around the piece. Made in France. Signature: "A. Hunebelle" and "France" in the mold on bottom. Andre Hunebelle was born in Paris in 1896.

A Unique Style In 1927 Hunebelle exhibited his first collection of glass, which rapidly became fashionable and brought him popular acclaim. Although similar to Lalique's glass in many respects, Hunebelle's work maintained a unique identity and style. He was influenced greatly by his love of Mathematics and the prevailing fashion for what we now call Art Deco. The decoration of his designs was often very stylised or abstract and frequently used contrasting planes of glossy and frosted glass Andre Hunebelle created a range of vases, bowls, plates, ornaments and lamps and opened a luxury shop in Paris. (the address of which is variously quoted as being at the rue de la Boetie, Avenue Victor Emmanuel-III and the Champs Elysees) Etienne Franckhauser who also made moulds for Lalique and Sabino made the moulds for Hunebelle's glass. Much of his work, particularly in the earlier years, was in colourless glass, although he increasingly used coloured glass for his designs and is well known for his opalescent glass. He invented a style of port decanter...
