Initially exhibited in Paris at the Pierre Frey flagship in Paris, Exhibition 1935 – 1955: Inspiration & Realism of fabrics, explores the bold and fascinating era in art and textile design from 1935 to 1955 through the archives exhibit of Pierre Frey. For the first time ever, about fifty documents, drawings, printed and woven fabrics from the early days of the company are displayed together.This was a period influenced by two main artistic styles: Neo-Medievalism and Surrealism. Noted author, textile historian, and Pierre Frey’s archivist Sophie Rouart talks with us about this period of poetry and imagination as presented through the show. French artists such as Jean Chatanay, Janine Janet, Picard Le Doux, Jean-Denis Malcles, and Ken Scott played a role in these design-rich times. Stop by the showroom to see the exhibition, it is on display in the New York showroom through July 30, 2010.
