Item #: G-17754 Artist: Gabriel Argy-Rousseau Country: France Circa: 1928 Dimensions: 7.25" height, 4.75" diameter Materials: Pâte de verre glass Signed: "G. ARGY-ROUSSEAU FRANCE" Literature: Similar vase pictured in Les Pâtes de Verre G. Argy-Rousseau Catalogue Raisonné, Paris, 1990, p. 216, no. 28.05 Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: In 1913, Gabriel Argy-Rousseau married Marianne Argyriadès, a highly-cultured woman of Greek descent who fueled Rousseau’s interest in Greek and Classical art. After his marriage, Rousseau added the first four letters of his wife’s maiden name “a-r-g-y” in homage to her cultural, emotional, and domestic support, signing his name “Argy-Rousseau” for the remainder of his artistic career.
