Jean Painlevé. Art Deco Bakelite and Metal Brooch, Vintage Jewelry - 1930s
Jean Painlevé (1902-1989) is known not only for his science films, but also for his jewelry creations.
In the early 1930s, he became interested in the art of jewelry, a passion that led him to create original and avant-garde pieces.
His creations are distinguished by their particular aesthetic, inspired by nature and organic forms.
Painlevé designed jewelry characterized by geometric shapes following the Art Deco movement and plays on transparency, often inspired by the structures of living things: shells, insects, but also elements linked to science and biology.
His work reflected a desire to link art and science, an approach that was already reflected in his films.
Through his jewelry, he sought to express the beauty of natural forms while using modern techniques for the time.
