"Terracotta Original Of Émile Derré"
Derré Emile (1867-1938) was not a decorator. It was a fraternal and terribly human artist; He had genuine ambitions of statuary but could not resist the call of architecture to nest in his creations. "Committed", even militant, he met Parisian anarchist circle and wanted to give a political significance to his works . After 1900, the second part of his work was influenced by Art Nouveau; Crucified by the drama of the "great war", he preferred to remove in 1938, with the inevitable approach of World War II. This original work, very inspired by antique statuary, reflects the style "art deco", both sleek and powerful and makes us discover a creative humanism as desperate.intact piece signed on the bottom of the bowl.
