Porcelain "Nerville" Vase by Maurice André for Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres
Porcelain "Nerville" Vase by Maurice André for Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres France: 1953 inscribed FB. d'ap. M.ANDRÉ 26-53 and with manufacturer's marks Provenance Sotheby's, New York, 28 July 2016, lot 25 Acquired from the above by the present owner Literature Sèvres: Porcelain of the 50s, exh. cat., L'Arc en Seine, Paris, no. 28 Maurice André (1914-1985) was a distinguished French visual artist known for his significant contributions to the world of tapestry art. As a founding member of the renowned group "Tapisserie de France" and a member of the A.P.C.T. (Association des Peintres-Cartonniers de Tapisserie), André played a pivotal role in shaping the tapestry art scene of his time. André's artistic style was distinctly personal, diverging from the dominant aesthetic championed by artists like Lurçat. Influenced by cubism, his work was characterized by the use of rigorous, flat areas of color, often employing a limited palette to achieve striking visual effects. His innovative approach caught the attention of both critics and patrons, leading to numerous prestigious commissions, including notable works for the Council of Europe in Strasbourg ("L'Europe unie dans le Travail et la Paix") and the French pavilion at the Brussels Exhibition in 1958 ("La Technique moderne au service de l'Homme"). Over time, André's artistic style underwent a gradual evolution, moving towards greater abstraction, much like his contemporaries Wogensky and Prassinos. His later works embraced a more lyrical and geometric aesthetic, reminiscent of the renowned artist Matégot.

Glass Blue and Green Fasce Verticali Bottle by Fulvio Bianconi for Venini
Blue and Green Striped "fasce verticali" glass bottle by Fulvio Bianconi for Venini .Three line acid stamp to underside 'Venini Murano Italia'. Italy: circa 1950. Literature: p. 296 Venini catalogue raisonné 1921-1986 par Anna Venini Diaz de Santillana éditions Skira. Bianconi’s real contribution to the world of art and design, however, finds its inception in 1947 when the Milanese Paulo Venini commissioned a series of perfume bottles from the illustrator, beginning the artist’s career as a freelance glasswork designer (Ricke 22). Unimpeded by the restrictions of the glass artisan’s principles of design and financially independent due to his work as a graphic designer, Bianconi was free to experiment with the formal qualities and potentials of glass as a fluid and organic medium. His earliest freelance work for Venini, which he not only designed but also cut and ground himself in order to become familiar with the medium, engages in a spontaneous aesthetic that intentionally and ironically protests against traditional values of perfect craftsmanship (Ricke 23). Throughout the late 1940’s and 1950’s, Bianconi brought a theatrical and humorous sensibility to his glasswork design that was born both from his personal roots in cartooning and caricature as well as a more general atmosphere of creative experimentation enjoyed by a post-Fascist Italy
