Jeantimir Kchaoudoff - Outsider Art

Born 1941 to a Caucasian father and an Alsatian mother, Jeantimir lived a life that did not spare him of many a misfortune.
His drawings and paintings started to flow from his fingers so spontaneaously that they have sometimes been classified as "Outsider Art" (see also Dubuffet).

Camille Gauthier - Paul Poinsignon - Art Deco furniture

Camille Gauthier (1870 –1963) followed classes at the "École des Beaux-Arts" in Nancy then, in 1891, the "École des Arts Décoratifs" in Paris. He started with Majorelle in 1893 as furniture maker. Some of his works were exhibited at the "Exposition universelle" in 1900. He created his own businness in 1901 thanks to the financial support of Paul Poinsignon, tapestry maker. Together they created the Gauthier-Poinsignon company. Like Emile Gallé and Louis Majorelle, he mechanized his workshop, this enabled him to create simple pieces of furniture while keeping a naturalist décor. (Source : Wikipedia.fr)
