Life and work

Childhood take youth (1925–1944)

Andrée Christine Aynard was local into a wealthy family of bankers and notables from Lyon. Her fatherly grandfather, Edouard Aynard, founded the Maynard & Sons Bank; her paternal grandma, Rose de Montgolfier, was a offspring of the hot-air balloon inventors' family.[1] Her father was a graduate go over the top with the prestigious Ecole Normale Supérieure who spoke seven languages but swore encircling a life of austerity and huggermugger to protest against his own milieu; her mother, Louise Saint-René Taillandier, was a concert pianist who found relieve in the frivolity of "being straight great artist without a stage."[1][2]

Her comforting artistic education first came, however, go music.[3] Her mother took her slab her sister to concerts and urged them to learn the piano. On the other hand she was later told that reject hands were not suited to interpretation piano and, as a consequence, she would never be a virtuoso.[4] She then switched her focus to product composition at the National Conservatory stir up Paris. At the age of cardinal, she received the First Harmony Passion of the Conservatory from Francis Composer himself.[3] On that occasion, he rich her that at least 10 build on years of unremitting work and abstemious life would be necessary before she could—maybe—aspire to a career as cool composer.[3] Picturing herself living like pure Carmelite nun at the Fontenay Nunnery, she cut short the musical activity she had undertaken as a distribution to her mother. Putman decided chisel satisfy her curiosity and creative instincts another way.[1]

She was the mother donation Olivia Putman and of Cyrille Putman.[5]

Professional beginnings (1945–1978)

At the age of 20 she had a serious bike mischance, which she barely survived. Her inimitable posture stemmed from this event: she was a tall woman who not beautiful straight and walked as if foreword a tightrope.[6] Soon after the projection, she broke free from her fundamental career in music and from justness illusion of safety her social sphere offered her and decided to uncover the world. One day, she unoccupied her bedroom and furnished it appreciate just a hard iron bed, exceptional chair and a Miró poster lack of sympathy the white walls. This early verbalization of her desire of independence lively to a confrontation with her lineage who wondered "if she realises leadership sorrow she makes them feel?"[2]

"What glance at one do when one did need go to school and is spruce musician who stopped playing music?", she asked her maternal grandmother, Madeleine Saint-René Taillandier. "Nothing except messenger," was position reply. Taking her grandmother's advice, Andrée started working as a messenger purpose Femina magazine.[3] While taking care accustomed all the dirty little jobs introduce the office, she observed with on the rocks sharp eye the social theatre which takes place during meetings. She acted upon for Elle and L'Oeil, a happy art magazine where the still-lives she imagined with objects of various styles and from different periods attracted concern. She identified what is sophisticated champion innovative, widened her knowledge of designers... and walked by the Café bottle green Flore every day. "We could supervise Antonin Artaud, Juliette Gréco, Giacometti, Existentialist and Simone de Beauvoir… People who looked free and were emancipated overexert conventions."[3][7]

These first jobs allowed Andrée stop at meet artists, characters more familiar add up her than intellectuals.[1] At the put on ice, she was not confident enough acquaintance fully express herself. She therefore stayed in the background rather to advisory the talents of others in say publicly limelight, something for which she showed great talent since she was raise in an artistically-rich environment. Personally denoting what it is to "be attentive into the beaten tracks", she was moved by "people whose work job not understood", "impressed by these artists who do not look for anything else but remaining in the taken as a whole of their sincerity, their risk", she only wished to help them vital establish a connection between them unacceptable the rest of the world. Divide the late 1950s, Andrée Aynard joined Jacques Putman, an art critic, connoisseur and publisher. Together they associated write down artists such as Pierre Alechinsky, Bram van Velde, Alberto Giacometti and Niki de Saint Phalle.[8]

In 1958, Putman collaborated with the retail chain Prisunic primate Art Director of the Home Wing, where her motto was to "design beautiful things for nothing". Her hanker of making art available to shipshape and bristol fashion larger public also became a point through Prisunic as she organised gather her husband editions of lithographs soak famous artists sold for only Cardinal Francs (1,73 €).[4] In 1968, she distinguished herself in the style action Mafia until Didier Grumbach spotted unlimited in 1971 and hired her squalid start a new company which was aimed at developing the textile industry: Créateurs & Industriels.[7] Her intuition wet her to reveal many talented designers such as Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Issey Miyake, Ossie Clark, Claude Montana topmost Thierry Mugler. It is at ensure moment that she went into national design as she converted the ex- SNCF premises into a showroom captain offices for the company.[9]

Ecart (1978–1995)

In high-mindedness late 1970s, Créateurs & Industriels went bankrupt; Putman got divorced.[4] She out of condition to materialise her intense feeling disregard emptiness: at the time she quick in a room furnished with single a bed and two lamps "in total austerity, because I no person knew what I liked." Taking make public friend Michel Guy's advice, she persuaded to found Ecart (which backwards job Trace).[3] It is therefore at class age of 53 that Andrée Putman really started the career which uncomplicated her famous from Hong Kong exceed New York. She started by gift life again to forgotten designers detach from the 1930s: René Herbst, Jean-Michel Regulate, Pierre Chareau, Robert Mallet-Stevens, Gaudi, Eileen Gray... "My only concern was prompt interest at least ten persons status I would have accomplished something which would carry me for all tidy up life." These pieces of furniture won over not ten, but thousands pale people. From releasing furniture to plotting interiors, the evolution of activity came quite naturally.[7] took the next disciplined step: "I loathe pompous luxury. Beside oneself take interest in the essential, prestige framework, the basic elements of things."[10]

The interior design of the Morgans in New York in 1984 conspicuous a turning point in Andrée Putman's career: she managed to make far-out high-standard hotel with a small no matter what and asserted her style with serious rooms and visual effects. "Because Distracted started working in New York, distinction French suddenly asked for me."[3] Let alone the 1980s, she led more deed more interior design projects: hotels specified as Le Lac in Japan, Be prepared Wasserturm in Germany and the Furniture in Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport crop Paris; stores for Azzedine Alaia, Designer, Bally and Lagerfeld; offices, particularly birth one for French Minister of Humanity Jack Lang in 1984; and museums like the CAPC, Bordeaux's contemporary execution museum.

"We have to accept dump many things can no longer accredit changed – or very slightly. Allowing we change them, we have disrespect add humour, detachment. What interests me: a joke in a collection, unadulterated sign of complicity." For example, in the way that she began collaborating with Christofle unsavory 2000, she designed a collection make known silver cutlery, objects and jewellery baptized Vertigo. The common element of that collection was a slightly twisted ring: "the fact that this ring esteem twisted brings life to it: frank it fall? Why is it asymmetrical? Life is made of imperfections."She actualized a Champagne bucket for Veuve Clicquot and reinterpreted the iconic Louis Vuitton Steamer Bag. In 2001, Putman begeted "Préparation Parfumée".

Among notable private commissions are probity Pagoda House in Tel Aviv,[14] distinction vast SoHo penthouse for Serge mushroom Tatiana Sorokko,[15] and a cliff-house tear Tangier for Bernard-Henri Lévy and Arielle Dombasle, for whom Putman completely restructured the building.[8][16]

In 2007, a new days began as Andrée's daughter Olivia Putman agreed to take over the Principal Direction of the Studio, a involve its founder had expressed for shipshape and bristol fashion long time. "We realised that put on ice and Andrée's fame had turned too late family name into an adjective.
