LUCIE RENAUDOT (1879-1939)
One of only a handful of female designers in the French Art Deco period, LUCIE RENAUDOT was born Lucie Edith Marie Julie Macqueron on July 17, 1879, in Valenciennes, France. Little is known of her early life or education, although her successful design career speaks for itself. She married the painter Paul Renaudot (b. November 29, 1871 in Rome) on June 30, 1903 in Paris.
Her first design commissions came from the tea rooms Tipperary and Ca Ira, around 1918.
From 1919 to 1939 she designed furniture that was produced by Paul-Alfred Dumas, Parisian designer and manufacturer of textiles and wallpapers. Her work was first exhibited publicly at the Salon d’Automne in 1919 and steadily thereafter. In 1923 she exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Decoratifs. For the Paris Expo in 1925 she designed a child’s bedroom for the Ambassade Francaise, a pavilion organized by the Salon des Artistes Decorateurs. In 1935 Renaudot designed staterooms for the renowned French oceanliner, Normandie. And in 1937 she designed a living room for Maurice Rinck at the 1937 Paris International Exhibition of Art and Technology in Modern Life which won the Grand Prix.
She said, of her own career: "Certainly, the work of the decorative artist is admirably suited to women, and if she is gifted, intelligent and hard-working, she can create a superb position for herself, but she must never shrink from responsibility and work." (Francoise Vitry, "Enquetes, La femme dans l'evolution de l'art apres la guerre", L'Opinion: Journal de la Semaine, November 13, 1926.)
Renaudot died in 1939.
