About the Item

Rare set of 12 framed Provence etchings by Albert Decaris (1901-1988). Very decorative as a complete set on a large wall. Each measures 17 in. wide x 21 in. tall. Each is signed in pencil. It is set number 47 from a limited edition of 99. Albert Decaris (born May 6, 1901 in Sotteville-lès-Rouen; died January 1, 1988 in Paris) was a French artist, engraver, painter and aquarellist. At age 19, Decaris won the Concours de Rome, which was seen as the premiere award among young French artists at the time. He was elected Fellow of The French Académie des Beaux Arts in 1943. Decaris was the first illustrator of luxury art books such as Le Chant de Mon Voyage vers la Grèce by Léon Cathlin, Combourg by Chateaubriand, Les Discours des Misères de ce Temps by Ronsard and Les Destinées by Alfred de Vigny. In the 1930s, Decaris began carving postal stamps, resulting in more than 500 such vignettes, for various postal services, notably French and African. Stamp collectors are fond of Decaris' stamps, as well as derivative products: small images or illustrated envelopes sold on the first day a new stamp is emitted. At the same time Decaris was preparing large plates, mostly for his own pleasure, on a wide variety of subjects: careful (almost technical) representations of monuments and places of interest, scenes of history, real life or imaginary; scenes of mythology or imagination, verging on surrealism; mere caricatures, with a sense of humour. Some are collected in albums, such as The Apocalypse or The Zodiac. Decaris was the best and most notorious French engravers of the 20th century, with a strange mix of classicism and audacity.
