Blown and mold-formed in richly toned amethyst glass, the vessel rises in a gently tapering form, its surface animated by decoration in light relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEncircling the body, musicians in flowing drapery emerge in softly modeled silhouettes, their elongated gestures and rhythmic poses characteristic of de Feure’s poetic, symbolist vision. The relief work is subtle yet expressive, catching the light along the raised contours. Signed by the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeorges de Feure (1868–1943) was a Paris-born artist, designer, and illustrator associated with the Symbolist and Art Nouveau movements. Born Georges Joseph van Sluijters to a family of Belgian and Dutch origin, he spent part of his youth in the Netherlands before returning to Paris in 1889, where he settled in Montmartre and began working as an illustrator and painter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Feure quickly aligned himself with the Symbolist circle, exhibiting alongside artists such as Paul Gauguin and the Nabis at Galerie Le Barc de Boutteville and participating in the Salons de la Rose + Croix in the early 1890s. His delicate watercolors and graphic works gained recognition for their poetic imagery and refined decorative sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEqually accomplished in the decorative arts, De Feure became closely associated with Art Nouveau dealer Siegfried Bing. For Bing’s Pavillon de l’Art Nouveau at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle, he designed interiors, furniture, and architectural decoration—work that helped establish his reputation as one of the movement’s most distinctive designers. He later created designs for furniture, stained glass, wallpaper, ceramics, and lighting for Bing’s Galerie de l’Art Nouveau.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout his career, De Feure continued to work across disciplines, producing stage designs, interiors, and exhibition pavilions, including commissions for the fashion house Madeleine Vionnet in the 1920s. Later in life he was appointed Professor of Decorative Art at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"South Loop Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737974243639,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/0135\/0967\/files\/ttU4iaDYsf6Ev-pavRy6vWKiVKIZrmV7F7vqqNz19cM.jpg?v=1772725125","url":"https:\/\/thesouthlooploft.com\/products\/french-art-deco-glass-vase-by-georges-de-feure-1910s","provider":"South Loop Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
