| Maurice Pillard Verneuil |
Maurice Pillard Verneuil (1869 - 1942) was born in Saint Quentin, France. He learned his trade from the Swiss designer Eugène Grasset (a series on Eugène Grasset can be found in the index of this blog). Verneuil then went on to become a well-known artist and designer. He was inspired by Japanese art and nature, particularly the sea. He is known for his contribution to the Art Deco movement and, in particular, his use of bold, floral designs in ceramic tiles, wallpapers, and other furnishing textiles.
His designs covered both the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, subsequently transitioning into his much acclaimed geometric patterns. Verneuil also produced numerous poster works in France alongside the well-known artists such as Toulouse-Lautrec and Jules Chéret. Other collaborators included Armand Point. René Juste, Alphons Mucha, and Mathurin Méheut.
After the First World War, he moved to Geneva, and then, from 1921 to his death to Rivaz, Switzerland, where he lived with his third wife, Adélaïde Verneuil de Marval, (who was also a painter and the photographers model) who he used for his portfolio, "Images d'une femme", in the 1930s.
