GEORGES DE FEURE (BELGIAN 1868-1943) DESIGN FOR A RUG WITH RATS AND HENS signed G de Feure on the margin lower right; pochoir on paper; 33.5 x 23.5cm; 13 1/4 x 9 1/4in (35 x 25cm; 13 3/4 x 10in framed) Raised in Holland, de Feure moved to Paris in 1889 finding work as an artist and illustrator. Influenced by the decorative designs of Jules Cheret (1836-1932) he instinctively tended towards symbolism (see lot 130). His work was included in the Exposition des Peintres Impressionistes et Symbolistes at the Galerie Le Barc de Boutteville, alongside Gauguin and the Nabis, and in the Salons de la Rose + Croix in 1893 and 1894. In the mid-1890s De Feure began an association with Siegfried Bing and his landmark Galerie de l'Art Nouveau which opened in late 1895. De Feure worked closely with the gallerist on designs for furniture, lamps, stained glass, wallpaper and ceramics and received great acclaim for his design for Bing's Pavillon de l’Art Nouveau at the Exposition Universelle of 1900. Parallel with working for Bing, de Feure established his own atelier. As with his work for Bing, De Feure's designs were strongly influenced by Japanese prints. His work is synonymous with the fluidity of the Art Nouveau aesthetic much in the manner of Alphonse Mucha.
