 George Grellet . French 1869 to 1959

A very well known artist from the Art Deco Period

His work is very similar to the works of Louis Icart.

Grellet never included an edition notation, therefore we might assume from the state of the market in the twenties that roughly 350 copies were run from each plate.

In ‘Boudoir Art’ we read: “Georges Grellet is a major Boudoir artist for several sound reasons. First, he was definitely a prominent and prolific force in the market for decorative French etchings. Also his images typify both the spirit and style of the Boudoir in their composition. He presents the epitome of the progressive twenties woman. His ladies are inquisitive, adventurous and hungry to squeeze the juice out of life, and yet they are deep and proud as well. There’s a charming hesitancy behind their smouldering allure.”
