51-6150Bordeaux and Villete-Condencourt S&O 1900-1958. 90 Original photographs negatives and identity cards; un ensemble de photographies familiales datant majoritairement des années 1910-1920 où l'on voit surtout Maurice Daurat sa première épouse Yvonne et leurs 4enfants Jacques Christiane Pierre et Mireille environ 90 photos certainesmontées sur carton fort;- de la carte d'identité et de la carte du combattant de Maurice Daurat.Maurice Daurat 1880-1969 was born in Bordeaux on August 2 1880. From 1895 to 1898 he was a student at the Ecole Germain Pilon where he received no specialized training. He learned the arts of drawing painting and especially sculpture for which he showed taste and skill from his early childhood. In order to make a living he began by doing decorative work making embroidery patterns and gradually moved towards metalwork. Upon returning from his involvement in the war of 1914-1918 he began exhibiting objects including gold silver and tin cups and boxes at the Salon d'Automne and des Artistes Décorateurs. But it was not until the Exhibition of 1925 that his personality was first revealed: winning a prestigious award he went on to take part in all the major events of decorative art in France and abroad: Geneva San Francisco Barcelona and Brussels Grand Prix.He was a member of International Jury at the 1937 Exhibition and became senior vice president of the league of goldsmiths Grand Prize. Outside his participation in exhibitions he created the basins and fountains of the Quai d'Orsay gardens and a monumental fountain for the rotunda of the city of Paris Palais de Tokyo. In 1935 he served as the gold/silversmith for the legations of Canada The Hague and Brussels. The French state commissioned him to design a basin with water jets and in 1945 he was commissioned by the city of Paris to make a vase for the flat of the Prefect of the Seine. Many of Maurice Daurat’s works belong to private collections and his tin and silver pieces can be found at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris Cairo and the Metropolitan Museum in New York.Recipient of the Grand Prize of Honor at the Salon des Artistes Décorators in 1949 Maurice Daurat became a knight of the Legion of Honor in 1929 and has been an officer since 1935. Daurat was a sculptor as well as a goldsmith executing elevated forms with a hammer. He produced entirely hand-made work representative of the age-old tradition of tin pottery. Although he employed gold silver and duralumin all the interior decorating lighting and objects of worship of the chapel of a large boarding school in Thionville designed by architects Hiriart and Tribout his metal of choice was tin. With his solid purity of forms that preserved the expressive value of volumes under a play of light Maurice Daurat restored tin to its original nobility and secured a prominent place for himself in the religious and civil goldsmith trade and in interior decoration. A modest artist passionate about his craft but virtually incapable however necessary of defending his work Daurat owes his triumph not only to the fundamental virtuosity of his work but to a series of fateful opportunities. Thanks to an important submission to the exhibition of 1925 Daurat was noticed by a man of taste and fortune who was able to provide him with the material resources required to execute his work for some years until a "crisis abruptly interrupted his generous initiative.†Luxuriously installed in avenue Friedland Daurat had at his disposal the metals with which to realize whatever his imagination conceived. While the adventure only lasted three years starting 1927 by 1930 Daurat’s art had taken off and he had made a name for himself.During and after this experience Daurat was at liberty to express himself in the most diverse areas: luxury and religious goldsmith’s art jewelry necklaces rings belts bracelets as well as vases basins and lamps. Hostile to all decoration Daurat chose metal as the sole medium of his expression enhancing its beauty through robust forms structured by harmonious rhythms logically arranged in accordance with the object’s purposeProvenance: Estate of Maurice Daurat 1880-1969 and his granddaughter and biographer Catherine Baumgartner.Expertise by Bernard Portheault 8 rue des Pichots 41500 Mer France.

1929135600N.p.: Cliff Leary 1929. Vintage sepia photograph of the world premiere of the landmark 1929 film at the legendary Criterion Theatre in New York. Shot by photographer Cliff Leary with his stamp on the verso as well as a numeric reference number 6434 and the stamp of a Scandanavian press agency Kobenhavnerinden. <br/><br/>A huge hit for Paramount in 1929 a comforting fact for the studio given that it was released just after the Wall Street crash. The great Ernst Lubitsch's first talking film the film debut of Jeanette MacDonald the American debut of Maurice Chevalier. Too "The Love Parade" is considered by many to be the first musical film in which songs were integrated with story and the first to make innovative first use of music with no image at the end of the film. Finally a wonderful example of the kinds of magnificent physical artwork that would routinely go into major premieres at the beginning of the talking era. <br/><br/>8 x 10 inches. In an archival mat.
