Description from the seller
Paule Ingrand (1910-1997) & Max Ingrand (1908-1969)
Grande étude préparatoire Art Déco – Figures en mouvement / Étude sportive circa 1940-1950
tampon d’atelier Paule Ingrand
Artist: Paule Ingrand (1910-1997)
(in collaboration with Max Ingrand, emblematic French Art Deco couple)
Technique: Graphite crayon, sanguine, and colored pencil on paper
Dimensions: 59 × 47.3 cm
Signature / Inscriptions:
• Red characteristic “PAULE INGRAND” workshop stamp (artist’s official seal, visible on numerous drawings and projects by the couple).
Rare and powerful monumental preparatory study by the Paule and Max Ingrand couple.
Three stylized male figures, captured in a broad, rhythmic movement, occupy the entire sheet. The drawing reveals the creative process: geometric construction (volumes, articulating circles, axes), energetic graphite outlines and sanguine shading that give the bodies a sculptural presence and a warmth almost carved.
The composition, both dynamic and architectural, evokes a decorative frieze intended for a large wall panel, a decor of engraved glass, or a monumental project (sports hall, ocean liner, public building).
The poses — throwing, stride, twist — recall contemporary explorations of the moving body, between Art Deco classicism and the modernity of the 1930s-1940s.
Paule Ingrand, educated at the École des Arts Décoratifs, a draftsman and fresco artist, brought a sense of composition and rhythm.
Max Ingrand, internationally renowned master glassmaker, often handled the technical transfer (engraved glass, glass gilding). Together they produced décors for the Normandie and numerous prestigious commissions.
This unusually large studio sheet constitutes a rare document: one can still see erasures, volume studies, and the strength of the line.
A collectible piece for lovers of Art Deco, preparatory drawing, and 20th-century decorative arts.
Condition:
Good overall condition for a workshop work. Small creases along the edges and a pinhole in one corner, traces of use consistent with its status as a preparatory drawing.
Sold unframed.
