Andre Hunebelle french art deco vase
Hunebelle worked as a glassmaker for barely a decade — from 1927 to the late 1930s — before leaving the field to become a film producer and director. In that short period he produced work that placed him firmly in the canon of Art Déco glass.
His approach was geometric and sculptural. He believed modern art should draw directly from geometry and conceived each piece as a three-dimensional object rather than a decorative vessel. His moulds were made primarily by Etienne Franckhauser, the same craftsman who worked for Lalique and Sabino. Later in his career he collaborated with designer Roger Cognéville (1903–1956) .
"L'Art moderne doit puiser ses ressources dans la géométrie" was his motto , "Modern art must draw its resources from geometry."
