Edouard Benedictus (1878-1930) was a painter, writer, composer and chemist who started his carreer in the Art Nouveau period. He wrote an influential article in L'Art décoratif in 1912. However, he was greatly receptive to the stylistic evolution started in 1912 and that became Art Deco. Appreciated for his portfolios "Variations" in 1923 and "Nouvelles variations" in 1928, he became one the most famous protagonists of the floral Art Deco. He played a special role in the Pavillion de l'Ambassade Francaise in the Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in 1925.
He worked with the most famous designers in this period, especially with Andre Groult for whom he created many tapestries for furniture. His rugs decorated the Grand Salon and Music Room of the magnificent French Embassy at the 1925 Exhibition. Benedictus' large pochoir designs display an imaginative geometric elaboration of fields of pure color, punctuated in places with abstract floral motifs.

About the work
About the Work
This print was made by Jean Saudé, a French printmaker in Paris, known for his mastery of the pochoir technique.
After the analysis of the colour tones and densities of an image, a craftsman known as a découpeur would cut stencils which would then be passed on to the coloristes. The coloristes applied the pigments by hand, using a variety of different brushes and methods of paint application to create the finished pochoir print. This slow and expensive process is characterized by crisp lines and brilliant colours and results in unique prints which remain vivid in both a tactile and visual sense.

Wendy
The picture I had arranged to see was ready for me and staff gave me lots of time to look at it and decide, but I loved it as soon as I saw it. No pressure. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. I had great advice on framing and protective glass.

Astonishing place. Driving home I realised it was probably the best experience I've ever had in a shop/gallery. I'll be filling my house with their artworks for years to come. A unique place.

There is no other gallery like Goldmark. I'm always amazed at both the stock they hold and their ability to regularly source really quite special pieces of art. That, with their friendly, knowledgeable & utterly unpretentious style makes them a delight to visit & to buy from.

Their delivery service is 100% reliable and the breadth of work displayed on their website pretty amazing. Above all, unlike other such dealers, I have never been under any pressure to buy. I recommend you give them a try.

We first visited Goldmark approximately 6 years ago and immediately liked the informality compared to previous gallery experiences. It’s a great place to start or build on your collection. Everyone at Goldmark is very friendly, knowledgeable and will give you as much or as little time as you wish.

We have bought prints and pots from Goldmark over many years and our house is the richer for the collections we have built up. The framing and delivery service are faultless.
