An eclectic creator, brilliant and erudite, Pierre Legrain (1889–1929) first made his mark with his pen (sharpened at the Germain Pilon school from 1901 to 1907, where he met Robert Delaunay, among others), and with his sense of graphic design, talents that earned him the opportunity to work on drawings in collaboration with Paul Iribe, founder of the satirical newspaper Témoin. Pierre Legrain subsequently developed a skill that opened him up to binding or framing, and then to design, architecture, and decoration with the conception of objects and art furniture, during a period marked by the codes of Art Deco.
