About Georges de Feure
Georges de Feure was born Georges Joseph van Sluijters in Paris in September 1868, the son of a Dutch architect, grew up in the Netherlands and returned to Paris in 1890, where he worked briefly with Chéret and took the name de Feure. His paintings and watercolours of the early 1890s, sombre women in Symbolist gardens, were shown with the Rose+Croix; his posters, the Salon des Cent of 1894 with its sharp-profiled woman in a black cape, the Paris-Almanach for Sagot, the Loïe Fuller for the Comédie Parisienne, Le Journal des Ventes, are among the most elegant of the decade. In 1899 Siegfried Bing engaged him to design furniture, porcelain, glass and textiles for the Maison de l'Art Nouveau, and his two rooms in Bing's pavilion at the Exposition Universelle of 1900 were the triumph of the style. He later designed for the theatre, built aircraft during the war of 1914, taught at the École des Beaux-Arts and died in Paris in November 1943.
