"La Fée aux Griffons" (The Fairy with Griffins) by Rene 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.
Measurements: 56 1/2" x 35 1/4"
Provenance: The artist, collection Michel Fortin, Paris: Collection of Stephen Engel.
