Clément KONS / CHARMAGUEY - ORIGINAL PROJECTS FROM THE PARIS WORKSHOPS OF CLÉMENT KONS AND CHARMAGUEY : FLORAL DESIGNS. Lot of 50 large compositions in gouache or watercolor. +/- 360 x 295 to 445 x 320 mm. Sheets: +/- 535 x 420 mm Among these 50 very colorful projects, 22 have the dry stamp of "C K Paris". Beautiful compositions in pastel tones or in blue or brown tones. Many of them have a handwritten mark on the back. They were either drawn directly on the support or partially pasted. Numbers 175 to 182 offer a very nice set of gouaches and watercolors from these Parisian workshops. These works cover the Art Deco period until the 1950s. They combine a great finesse of execution both in the choice of motifs and in the choice of colors. This collection contains projects for wallpaper and furnishing and decorative fabrics and a project for scarves (No. 175). Clément KONS (Mulhouse, 1879 - Paris, 1956), naturalized in 1928, established himself in Paris at that time as a "draftsman for printing on fabrics" at 17, rue Saint Fiacre in the 2nd district. He is listed in the Industrial Directory, under the activity of "Drawings of all kinds for printing on fabrics, silk and cotton. In 1931, his company was transferred to 70 rue de l'Aqueduc in the 10th arrondissement, and the Annuaire Général de l'Industrie et du Commerce mentioned his activity as "Designer for prints on fabrics". Charmaguey, of whom we could not find the trace, probably collaborated with Kons or succeeded him as testifies a project which carries their seal or joint mark.
