jean dunand ( 1877-1942)
Jean Dunand (Switzerland, Lancy 1877-1942 Paris, France) Eggshell table, circa 1921 Black lacquer and eggshell H 71.5 x W 31.5 x D 31.5 cm Signed 'Jean Dunand Laqueur' This side table symbolises the revival of the art of lacquer and the use of eggshell in Art Deco, of which Jean Dunand was an undisputed master. He used the eggshell technique to replace white, which did not exist in lacquer colours. Dunand kept hens so that he could produce his own eggshells to perfect his technique. This deep black table, whose red undercoat shows through in places, is remarkable for the extremely delicate application of the eggshell, like stardust. This side table belonged once to a former cabinet-making associate of Jean Dunand, Mr MC. Jean Dunand was a multi-talented artist; sculptor, coppersmith, lacquerer, mosaicist, goldsmith and interior designer. Initially trained as a sculptor, he turned to the decorative arts and copperware in 1905. In 1912, he learnt to work with lacquer, a technique he used to decorate screens, panels, furniture, vases and to create portraits. He is also renowned for his contribution to the interior decoration of the liners L'Atlantique and Normandie.

emile claus
Emile Claus (Sint-Eloois-Vijve 1849-1924 Astene) Girl in flower garden, 1896 Oil on canvas 35 x 27 cm Signed upper right 'Emile Claus' Signed and dated on reverse: Juni / IF / E.C. Provenance: collection Vullers, Brussels Literature: De Smet, J. e.a., Retrospectieve Emile Claus, exh. cat. (Ostend: PMMK, 1997); De Smet, J. e.a., Emile Claus en het landleven, exh. cat. (Ghent: MSK, 2009); Eeckhout, P., Retrospectieve tentoonstelling Emile Claus 1849-1924, exh. cat. (Ghent: MSK, 1974) A pioneer of luminism in Belgium, Emile Claus (1849-1924) often managed to capture the beauty of rural life in his works. In ‘Girl in flower garden’, this fascination is perfectly illustrated by the serene expression of the girl and the colourful flowers in the background, which merge in harmony.

Georges Vantongerloo (Antwerp 1886-1965 Paris) Study for Variant 'Curves', 1939 Gouache on paper 17.6 x 17.8 cm Titled, located, dated, and signed on verso 'Paris 1939' Provenance: Max Bill Estate; Max Bill-Georges Vantongerloo Foundation Annely Juda Fine Art, London; private collection, New York; Galerie Harold t'Kint de Roodenbeke, Brussels; private collection, Belgium Literature: Jan Ceuleers, Georges Vantongerloo, Ronny Van de Velde - Pandora, Antwerp, 1996, p. 200; Naum Gabo, Georges Vantongerloo, Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart, exh. cat., Annely Juda Fine Art, London, cat. 57 (ill.); Angela Thomas Schmid, Georges Vantongerloo: A Retrospective, exh. cat., Annely Juda Fine Art, London, cat. 59 (ill.) Georges Vantongerloo (1886-1965) was one of the founding members of De Stijl in 1918 along with Theo Van Doesburg and Piet Mondrian, among others. The Antwerp-based artist created sculptures as well as paintings and gouaches and is considered one of the pioneers of abstract art. He was a member of the 'Cercle et Carré' group and founded the Abstraction-Création group in Paris in 1931 to promote abstract art. At first, his abstract works still followed the straight line and angle but from 1937, curves and circles entered Vantongerloo's work. With the curved line, his work becomes more lyrical and playful. Rational volumes and proportions are replaced by lines that reflect an expression of energy.
