Swiss painter, decorator, interior designer. He studied engraving and applied arts. He was born in Evian (France) in 1890 and died in Geneva in 1977. Is one of the leading artist-decorators of the interwar years. His art deco style, often "rationalist", nevertheless remains subject to personal aesthetic considerations. Between 1908 and 1912, he studied at the School of Industrial Arts in Geneva. He enjoyed the heyday of the Weber furniture and textile factory, where he became the artistic director of the Weba workshop in 1930. However, he also designed the furniture for the Remor café, in Plainpalais, for the Cornavin station buffet (bar decoration) in 1931, for the Brachard stationery store in 1938, as well as for the Swiss Salon of the League of Nations. Very early active within the Work, in 1920 he received the order from the brand new Coopérative du Comptoir suisse to create its visual identity. He then produced the posters for 10 editions, between 1920 and 1931, apart from 1929 (poster provided by C. Kuhn). He is also the author of the first logo used on all letterheads, compliment cards and posters: a tractor in a field with an ear of wheat. In July 1929, Percival Pernet realized the idea of transforming the old CGN boat, Le Général Dufour, into a floating dance hall renamed Le Triton, during the Rhône Festival. Versatile in the arts, in 1949 in Lausanne he redesigned the interior decor of the restaurant-dancing of the Château d'Ouchy. In 1936, at the request of the Federal Council, he chaired the Federal Commission of Applied Arts, replacing Edmond Bille, who had resigned, then remained as vice-president for four consecutive years.

Today's subject choice originated by stumbling across a photograph of Albert D.J. Cashier, born Jennie Hodgers in 1843. He served for a full 3 year term after enlisting in the Union army at the age of 19 and fought in over 40 battles against the Confederate Army. When the war was over, Albert contin
Winifred Knights (1899-1947) is one of the outstanding, but until recently neglected, British women painters of the first half of the 20th century. Copiously illustrated in colour throughout, this book provides the first full account of her life and work, examining Knights' art in the context of interwar Modernism and assessing her contribution to the revival in this period of both Decorative Painting and religious imagery.Author Sacha Llewellyn traces the artist's career from her years at the Slade School of Art and her First World War evacuation to rural Worcestershire through to the time she spent at the British School at Rome in the early 1920s and the many commissions she completed between 1926 and 1939. Presenting the artist as the central protagonist, and with models selected from her inner circle, Knights' paintings were deeply autobiographical. She consistently re-wrote fairy-tale and legend, Biblical narrative and Pagan mythology to explore women's relationship to war, the natural world, working communities, marriage, motherhood and death. Drawing on previously unpublished documentary material, including letters, diaries, sketchbooks and photographs, Sacha Llewellyn makes a strong case for recognising Knights as one of the most talented artists of her generation. The book reproduces all of Knights' major works, including her masterpiece, The Deluge, which is among the most remarked upon works at Tate Britain, having been on almost permanent display there since 1995. 165 Illustrations, color; 11 Illustrations, black and white
True Anarchists are against false liberty invoked by cowards to avoid their duty
An original 1935 watercolour painting, K.B.L., Courting Couple 18th-century. This charming small artwork forms part of a collection of English interwar illustrations that we have for sale. The artworks, which span the period 1906 to 1936 but predominantly date from the interwar years, show the influence of Art Deco on illustration during this time. Many of the works are children's illustrations, involving fantasy or anthropomorphism, or feature a playful sense of humour. In watercolour with pen and ink. Some minor age toning and foxing, as shown.

'A joy to read.' Sunday Times 'Outstanding.' Daily Telegraph 'Excellent.' The Spectator 'Superb.' Literary Review 'Scintillating . . . A gripping, mysterious love story which also sheds light on British culture between the wars.' Financial Times In 1922, Cyril Power, a fifty-year-old architect, left his family to work with the twenty-four-year-old Sybil Andrews. They would be together for twenty years. Both became famous for their dynamic, modernist linocuts - streamlined, full of movement and brilliant colour, summing up the hectic interwar years. Theirs was a scintillating world of Futurists, Surrealists and pioneering abstraction, but alongside the buzz of the new, of machines and speed, shops and sport and dance, they also looked back, to medieval myths and early music, to country ways disappearing from sight.

The Times and Sunday Times Art Book of the Year 'Superb ... Spalding is a lucid and revealing guide who wears her scholarship lightly' Sunday Times 'Spalding's prose is as clear as a Ravilious greenhouse, her thoughts as orderly as a Ben Nicholson white relief' The Times A fresh look at a period of English art that has surged in interest and popularity in recent years, authored by one of Britain's leading art historians and critics. The 21st century has seen a surge of interest in English art of the interwar years. Women artists, such as Winifred Knights, Frances Hodgkins and Evelyn Dunbar, have come to the fore, while familiar names - Paul Nash, Eric Ravilious and Stanley Spencer - have reached new audiences. High-profile exhibitions have attracted recordbreaking visitor numbers and challenged received opinion. In The Real and the Romantic, Frances Spalding, one of Britain's leading art historians and critics, takes a fresh and timely look at this rich period in English art. The devastation of the First World War left the art world decentred and directionless. This book is about its recovery. Spalding explores how exciting new ideas co-existed with a desire for continuity and a renewed interest in the past. We see the challenge to English artists represented by Cezanne and Picasso, and the role played by museums and galleries in this period. Women artists, writers and curators contributed to the emergence of a new avant-garde. The English landscape was revisited in modern terms. The 1930s marked a high point in the history of modernism in Britain, but the mood darkened with the prospect of a return to war. The former advance towards abstraction and internationalism was replaced by a renewed concern with history, place, memory and a sense of belonging. Native traditions were revived in modern terms but in ways that also let in the past. Surrealism further disturbed the ascetic purity of high modernism and fed into the British love of the strange. Throughout these years, the pursuit of 'the real' was set against, and sometimes merged with, an inclination towards the 'romantic', as English artists sought to respond to their subjects and their times. 147 Illustrations, unspecified
If you were to hang around Montmartre after sundown in the 1920s & 30s, it's likely you were looking for something a little more Avant-Garde than what you might find on the Parisian Left Bank. At the time, it was a haven for struggling artists, bohemians, burlesque dancers, straying husbands as
