Bibliography: - "Joël et Jan Martel, sculpteurs 1896-1966", Gallimard/Electa éditeur, Paris 1996 (no. 48 p. 478). Note: Jan and Joël Martel shared the same studio and their work to the point of signing their compositions only "Martel". The Martel brothers took part in the Salon des indépendants, the Salon d'automne, the Salon des Tuileries and the 1925 Exposition des arts décoratifs. At the Villa Noailles, Jan and Joël Martel create a bas-relief on the hall's central column and a polyhedral mirror. In 1926-1927, Mallet-Stevens built a mansion for the brothers on rue Mallet-Stevens in Paris, whose main entrance door was designed by Jean Prouvé. The twins died in 1966, six months apart. Arthur Goldscheider founded two progressive artists' groups in Paris in the 1920s, "La Stèle" for sculptors and "L'Évolution" for interior designers. In 1925, "La Stèle" presented their work under the heading Art Deco in a pavilion designed by Éric Bagge at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes.
