[TEXTILE] Clément KONS / CHARMAGUEY - ORIGINAL GOUACHE PROJECTS FROM THE PARIS WORKSHOPS OF CLÉMENT KONS AND CHARMAGUEY : Geometric patterns. Set 88 pieces. Support : 320 x 240 mm. In sheets, on vellum sometimes with the watermark of the Renage paper mill. Various forms: square, circle, trapezoid. Various dimensions ranging from 62 x 102 mm for the smallest to 85 x 70 mm or 85 mm in diameter. Fixed by the angles or in full on the support, some drawn on sheet fixed on the support. 48 carry the dry cachet "CK Paris", 2 the wet cachet. Many have a handwritten mark in pencil. Motifs with very varied colors and forms: small green dots surrounded by white hatchings on pink Indian bottom; alternation of small white and black rectangles of various sizes on red bottom; grid in the black, red and white tones inspired by the Scottish tartans; play of vertical white stripes on blue bottom; white bottom strewn with small black circles... All the models are in the connection. The numbers 254 to 260 propose a very beautiful set of gouaches and watercolors coming from these Parisian workshops. They combine a great finesse of execution both in the choice of motifs and in the choice of colors. This selection covers the post-war period. 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.
