JEAN DESPRÉS: a French silver serving slice with lozenge shaped maker's mark, also engraved J Deprés, also stamped with Minerva head first standard mark The blade and stem with applied central rib terminating with a demi-ball finial, with all over spot hammered surface, length 25cm, weight 7oz. Footnotes: Jean Eugène Gilbert Després (1889 – 1980) The current lot shows Després' renewed interest in curved lines and rounded shaping, combined with his distinctive hand-hammered finish which is further adorned with bead ornament. In 1903, Jean Després left for Paris to apprentice as a Goldsmith. Frequenting the Bateau-lavoir and Montmartre he met the avant-garde artists Modigliani, De Chirico, Signac, Utrillo, Soutine, Friesz, Vlaminck and also Georges Braque, who would become his 'best friend'. At this time, Braque and Picasso were pioneering the Cubist movement in Paris. Després was one of the most innovative artists of the 1920s and 1930s predominately in the field of jewellery. In the post war period with a sense of new found energy, Després produced less jewellery and moved towards more everyday objects, using softer lines, more voluptuous curves and more solid and sturdy design. His works in silver were more exclusive and entirely hand crafted. His works are in the collections of the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, among others. His work was much admired in his lifetime by Josephine Baker and Rose Adler and later admired and collected by Andy Warhol. In 1977 Després stopped working. He donated a large amount of works to galleries in France to record his career and success including the town of Avallon where he lived and had a workshop. He died in 1980 at the age of 91. His wish was the closure of his shop and studio wanting the artistic enterprise which he built up to end when he did.
