About the Item

Set of 2 Pochoir with Frame Victor Max Ninon Italy, 1920 Art Deco Pochoir with original passepartout and frame with glass Excellent Condiction Pochoir size: 27 x h 19 cm Painter, set designer and self-taught illustrator, born in Casale Monferrato in 1896. His full name is Vittorio Accornero de Testa and the pseudonym is Victor Max Ninon. He collaborated with various magazines, between 1919 and 1924 he created illustrations for the “Giornalino delle Domenica” of Vamba, for “Ardita” (also together with his first wife, the illustrator Edina Altara) and for “La Lettura”. In 1923 he won the competition for the covers announced by the magazine “El Hogar” of Buenos Aires and in 1925 he won the gold medal at the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris. In 1929 he moved to New York for a short period with his wife and collaborated with the magazine «Country Life», but despite the recognition and awards he received he decided to return to his homeland. In 1934 he moved to Milan and definitively abandoned the pseudonym Victor Max Ninon. He illustrated a large number of books, especially for children, and worked for various publishing houses, including Mondadori, Mursia, Hoepli, Martello. The plates he created for Mondadori on Pinocchio and Cuore are famous. He also collaborated with the magazines «Lidel», «Il Secolo XX», «L’illustrazione italiana», «Fantasie d’Italia», «La donna», «Cordelia», «Per voi signora», «Grazia», «Metropoli» and with the first edition of the Enciclopedia dei Ragazzi also created for Mondadori. Between the first half of the 1930s and the 1950s of the last century he devoted himself above all to the activity of set and costume designer; apart from a brief interlude for cinema in 1936, he worked mainly for the theatre, taking care of sets and costumes for numerous operettas, ballets and performances at the Scala in Milan and other Milanese theatres such as the Manzoni, the Lirico and the Olympia. Between the 1940s and 1950s he published six children's books as an author and illustrator, Le storie di cane Tommaso. In these years his pictorial activity approached the world of hyperrealism; praised by eminent critics he exhibited in numerous personal exhibitions both in Italy and abroad. From 1960 to 1981 he approached the world of fashion by collaborating with Gucci and designing around 80 scarves, including the very famous Flora created for Grace Kelly. After a very long career he died in Milan in 1982.
