Edgar BRANDT (Paris, 1880 - Collonge-Bellerive, 1960) LAMPADAIRE in hammered and patinated wrought iron. Openwork shaft with four square-section bars, crowned with scrolls. It is tightened at the base by an octagonal ring from which rise four angled scrolled feet. Stamped "E. BRANDT" on one foot. Height: 167 cm. Diameter: 48 cm. By the time the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes opened, Edgar Brandt, far from the modest workshop he founded in 1902, was already considered the most talented metalworker of his day. On the strength of this status, the same year he inaugurated France's first "Art Déco" gallery. He exhibited wrought ironwork, furniture, decorative objects, sculptures and lighting, both his own work and that of selected artists. True to his motto: "There's nothing difficult, only things you don't know how to do", he cultivates excellence and hard work, and constantly strives to rationalize artistic conception by supporting it with industry. And all this with the aim of "spreading modern taste and feeling throughout the nation." This was perfectly in tune with the demands of the new style: beauty of materials, perfect technicality, precision of gesture, purity and elegance of line. Let's listen to René Chavance, in L'Art et les Artistes (January 1921): "One cannot think of fine works of modern ironwork without evoking the name of Edgar Brandt. In man's struggle against the hard material which, through the magic of fire, allows itself to be shaped, twisted, flattened, coiled under the hammer and obediently bent to decorative forms (...), this artist has taken a place quite apart, in the front rank. There is no more determined or ingenious researcher".
