Alexandre Noll |
In 1925 he took part in the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, outlining a series of sculpted objects. In 1935 he began his "furniture sculptures," which were carved into sycamore, mahogany, teak and ebony. He participated in the 1937 International Exhibition of Arts and Techniques, showing a few small pieces. In 1939 he showed at the Salon des Artistes Decorators and the seventh Milan Triennale in 1940.
During World War II, Noll designed furniture and forged his style and was ready to produce his unique furniture by the time the war ended, but by the 1950s, Noll had returned to sculpture and took part in numerous exhibitions in France.
He is known for his natural style, his purity of form and in an approach that was both poetic and philosophically intuitive.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I love the sculptures in the two first images! A bit like the soft curves of Henry Moore's more abstract pieces. I can really see these on my credenza:-)
ReplyDeleteI also think the sculptures are beautiful, and I'm intrigued by the three-legged table.
