La Bibliothèque de l'Amateur 07 : Eileen Gray
A discreet adventurer, both curious and solitary, as determined as she was elusive, Eileen Gray (1878–1976) left a profound mark on the history of Art Deco and modernism with her avant-garde vision. A painter, designer, architect, and photographer all at once, the Irish-born designer based in Paris stood out from the artists of her time through her independent spirit, her boldness, and her freedom. From her lacquered screens to her tubular metal furniture, she never ceased to innovate, blurring the boundaries between art and design. Filled with emotion and poetry, her works continue to inspire today’s greatest designers. Her Villa E-1027, built in 1926 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, is considered one of the most brilliant masterpieces of 20th-century architecture.
