Georges Delrue curvaceous silver brooch

by: Georges Delrue, Canada

material: sterling silver

size: 1 7/8" x 1 1/2"

One of our favourite pieces. It's an absolute delight.

An article in the Vie des Arts in 1964 by Jacques De Roussan describes Delrue and his work: The artist, regardless of his chosen field, is constantly searching for new dimensions to set him free from the engulfing routine and master Montreal jeweler Georges Delrue, in search of plastic reality, is no exception.

Artistic, technical and handicraft techniques are called into play in
his work and the net result of these various skills is a spontaneity that is never hindered by the material involved. It is an abstraction which emanates from nature and always remains intimately a part of nature.

Delrues work can be seen in major museums and collections including

• Musee Les Arts Decoratifs Paris
• The National Gallery of Canada.
