雅克 · 勒芒 (1881-1974), 后名纳姆 (Nam), 他创作的线条简单的猫闻名于世, 但他的艺术才能不限于此。他也乐于表现不同的野生动物, 比如大型猫科、猴子、 爬行动物以及捕猎动物, 以此来强化其表现手法中的装饰效果。纳姆也试验过蚀刻中国漆的技法, 在装饰面板、屏风和大型室内装饰工程上表现细腻的猫科动物形象。他的作品受到两次大战间收藏家的欢迎。而他的风格亦是“ 装饰艺术 ” 的典型代表。他的作品善于表现动态特征, 线条流畅、手法精准, 不仅获得了同时代批评家的认可, 而且至今仍受到艺术爱好者的追捧。

Famous for his portraits of stylised cats, Jacques Lehman named Nam (1881-1974) was a multi-talented artist. Born into a family of musicians, he somehow developed a passion for cats at an early stage. he also took pleasure in depicting exotic animals; monkeys, reptiles, and larger predators. His subject variety strengthened the decorative aspect of his works. Nam was also experienced in the technic of Chinese lacquering, portraying felines with great finesse and aptitude on decorative panels, privacy-screens and large interior decorations. He was widely received amongst the collectors of the inter-war period. Stylistically, his works are highly representative of the Art Déco style. Nam’s work is characterized by a sublime accuracy and a mastery in depicting movement.

Gaston Suisse 加斯东·隋斯 (1896-1988), Widows, Garrulax and Chinese Swallows in Tiger Orchids, Engraved lacquered panel, cloudy buff lacquer background, gold leaf orchids and highlighted with green lacquer, signed

加斯东·隋斯 (1896 - 1988) 被认为是二十世纪三十年代最伟大的装饰艺术家之一。他出生于艺术世家, 童年起就开始练习素描并对远东艺术和动物产生了浓厚的兴趣。 1919年, 他退伍后回到装饰艺术学校继续学业, 同时继续提高自己在用漆方面的技艺。最初他使用植物漆为基底, 随后他改进了工艺, 在创作中开始采用新的合成清漆。这使他能够扩大色彩的差异度, 并突出贴金或蛋壳镶嵌的效果。他的作品除了大量带有异域动物图案的漆画、素描草稿、, 还有少量几何图形装饰的家具。这些作品是那个时代最引人注目的艺术品之一, 今天仍作为享誉全球的收藏品而受到追捧。

Gaston Suisse (1896-1988) is considered one of the most influential interior designer of the 1930s. From a family of artists, he started drawing as a child and showed at an early age a strong interest in animals and the Far East arts. He finished his course at the Arts Décoratifs in 1919 and perfected his lacquering skills starting with a vegetal based lacquer that he improves with a new synthetic varnish process allowing him to widen his chromatic range and effects such as the use of golden leaves or eggshells inlay. Alongside his preparatory drawings, his prolific work of lacquered panels picturing exotic animals and much rare of furniture with geometrical decors stands as one of the most iconic of his time and is nowadays internationally sought after.

卡米耶 · 罗什 (1894 - 1948) 生于巴黎, 卡米耶从童年起就在色彩绘画和素描上表现出极高的天赋。1905 年, 年仅 11 岁的他在秋季沙龙展出两件作品。1914年他应征入伍, 战后, 他与塞夫尔制造厂合作了多年。期间, 他为1925年和1937年万国博览会分别创作了《人间天堂》(Le Paradis Terrestre) 和《塞尔日与卡米耶 · 罗什的小客厅》(Boudoir de Serge et Camille ROCHE) 两件作品。卡米耶的素描裸体人像、风景和动物同样享有盛名。他在世期间, 曾于1924年和1930年, 分别在德旺贝茨画廊 (Galerie Devambez) 和梵尚画廊 (Galerie Vincent) 举办过多场个人展览。他还经常参加秋季沙龙、装饰艺术家沙龙、法国美术协会沙龙及动物艺术家协会沙龙的展览。他对于传统绘画技法的掌握全面而精湛, 不管在什么材质上, 他都能自由发挥; 他的“笔触”有力且富有个人风格, 这使他成为同时代最受人瞩目的艺术家之一。

Born in Paris, Camille Roche (1894-1948) revealed a great talent for painting and drawing. At the age of 11, he already exhibited two artworks at the Salon. Mobilized in 1914, he is seriously injured in combat then released in 1916. After the War, he began a collaboration with the Manufacture de Sèvres for a few years, in particular during the two International Exhibitions of 1925 and 1937, for which he made “The Earthly Paradise” and the "Boudoir of Serge and Camille Roche". He was also famous for his drawings of nude, of landscapes and animals. During his lifetime, several solo exhibitions were dedicated to him (Devambez Gallery in 1924, Vincent Gallery in 1930).  His exceptional mastery of all traditional techniques of the painting, however the medium, allowed him unhindered freedom to make art and his powerful and personal “writing” made him one of the most outstanding personalities of his time.

Paul Landowski (1875-1961), Study for Sun Yat Sen ‘s mausoleum 孙中山陵墓雕像习作, 1927, Plaster, 90 x 38 x 43 cm

保罗·兰多斯基(1875 – 1961)是一位波兰裔法国纪念碑雕塑家。 他最着名的作品是里约热内卢的基督救世主和南京中山陵的孙中山雕像。 他曾在AcadémieJulian学习，在从法国高等美院毕业前，他就于1900年凭借他的大卫雕像赢得了罗马大奖，并开始了其五十五年的职业生涯。 他在1928年夏季奥林匹克运动会的艺术比赛中获得雕塑金奖，该比赛于1912年至1952年举行。从1933年至1937年，他在罗马担任法国学院院长。他还与Florence Meyer Blumenthal一起担任艺术评委，授予Prix Blumenthal奖，这是1919-1954年间为年轻的法国画家，雕塑家，装饰艺术家，版画家，作家和音乐家提供的奖助。

Paul Landowski (1875 – 1961) was a French monument sculptor of Polish descent.

Georges-Lucien Guyot (1885-1973), A seated Orangoutang with spread arms, model circa 1925, bronze, signed, Meroni Radice Foundry, 38 x 27,5 x 101 cm

乔治 - 吕西安 · 圭佑于1885年出生于巴黎, 和他的作品一样, 他个性鲜明、受人瞩目。他是二十世纪最伟大的动物艺术家之一。从一开始他的创作就获得了极高名望,现在更是享誉全球。从1930年起圭佑声名鹊起, 到1972年达到事业的巅峰: 他在当年被授予动物艺术领域最高奖: 爱德华-马塞尔 · 桑多斯(Edouard-Marcel Sandoz)大奖。乔治 - 吕西安 · 圭佑无疑是所有动物艺术家中“最全面”的一个, 不管是在雕塑还是绘画领域都表现出了杰出的才华。从圭佑创作的猴子、熊、马、大型野兽作品中, 我们可以看到他在创作上注意动物形象的多样化, 对动物个性情态具有敏锐的观察力, 并且始终着重表现动物的情感和它们“人性”的一面。

Born in Paris, Georges-Lucien Guyot (1885-1973), whose Work is as strong and charming as his personality, is one of the greatest Animalier Artists of the 20th century. From his very first pieces, Guyot has encountered significant recognition. Nowadays his reputation is international. Guyot’s success and renown were substantial throughout the 1930s, however, his reputation was consecrated in 1972 when he won the ‘Edouard-Marcel Sandoz’ Prize. He is certainly the most accomplished animal artist as he knew how to express himself with equal talent through both sculpture and drawing. Monkeys, bears, big cats and horses have been the subjects of his bestiary’s portfolio, his strong sense of character portrayal and his unending artistic concern to express their inner-feelings has made Guyot a legend amongst animaliers. 

Charles Artus (1885-1973), Indian runner duck, bronze, signed, Valsuani Foundry, circa 1927, 41 x 25 x 16 cm

夏尔·阿尔都司 (1897-1978)出身于法国的诺曼底, 后来赴巴黎成为纳夫利耶 (Navellier) 的学生, 此后, 他为弗朗索瓦 · 蓬朋 (Fran?ois Pompon) 担任了多年的助手, 这种亲密合作关系使他成为著名的 “ 十二人小组 ” 的创始成员。作为活跃于两次大战之间的动物雕塑家, 阿尔都司被认为继承了蓬朋的艺术风格; 但他保留了鲜明的个人特点。法国和世界其他国家的许多著名博物馆都藏有阿尔都司的作品, 比如, 巴黎现代艺术馆、鲁昂 (Rouen) 博物馆、韦尔农 (Vernon) 博物馆、然镇 (Gien) 博物馆、布洛涅 (Boulogne) 博物馆、普瓦捷 (Poitier) 博物馆、蒙德马桑 (Mont de Marsan) 博物馆、费城博物馆、纽约大都会博物馆、东京博物馆、多伦多博物馆、渥太华博物馆、卢森堡博物馆等等。阿尔都司逝世之后, 声名日益高涨。在今天艺术爱好者眼中, 他已与布加迪 (Bugatti)、蓬朋 (Pompon)、圭佑 (Guyot) 和桑多斯 (Sandoz) 同属于那个时代最伟大的雕塑艺术家之列。

Charles Artus (1897-1978) was born in the Normandy region, he arrived in Paris to become a student of Navellier. Artus enjoyed frequenting the ‘Jardin des Plantes’ in Paris, it was there where he would meet Fran?ois Pompon. Henceforth, they collaborated intimately throughout many years, leading Artus to be one of the founding members of the famous "Groupe des Douze". Artus is thus considered as an Inter-War period Animal sculptor whose stylistics is similar to that of Pompon, yet his sufficient originality makes him a pioneer. Major French and Foreign museums now own Charles Artus’ artworks. One may see his art pieces among the collections of the National Modern Art Museum of Paris, Museums of Rouen, Vernon, Gien, Boulogne, Poitiers, Mont de Marsan, the Metropolitan Museum of New York, the Museums of Philadelphia, Tokyo, Toronto, Ottawa, Luxembourg among many others... Since he passed away, his reputation has kept increasing and he now belongs amongst the greatest sculptors of his time. His legacy remains alongside with Bugatti, Pompon, Guyot, and Sandoz.
