Percival Pernet, Marchands de chevaux, 1916, Oil on Canvas, Framed

About This Piece

Swiss painter, decorator, interior designer. He studied engraving and applied arts. He was born in Evian (France) in 1890 and died in Geneva in 1977.
Is one of the leading artist-decorators of the interwar years.
His art deco style, often "rationalist", nevertheless remains subject to personal aesthetic considerations.
Between 1908 and 1912, he studied at the School of Industrial Arts in Geneva. He enjoyed the heyday of the Weber furniture and textile factory, where he became the artistic director of the Weba workshop in 1930.
However, he also designed the furniture for the Remor café, in Plainpalais, for the Cornavin station buffet (bar decoration) in 1931, for the Brachard stationery store in 1938, as well as for the Swiss Salon of the League of Nations. Very early active within the Work, in 1920 he received the order from the brand new Coopérative du Comptoir suisse to create its visual identity. He then produced the posters for 10 editions, between 1920 and 1931, apart from 1929 (poster provided by C. Kuhn). He is also the author of the first logo used on all letterheads, compliment cards and posters: a tractor in a field with an ear of wheat. In July 1929, Percival Pernet realized the idea of transforming the old CGN boat, Le Général Dufour, into a floating dance hall renamed Le Triton, during the Rhône Festival. Versatile in the arts, in 1949 in Lausanne he redesigned the interior decor of the restaurant-dancing of the Château d'Ouchy. In 1936, at the request of the Federal Council, he chaired the Federal Commission of Applied Arts, replacing Edmond Bille, who had resigned, then remained as vice-president for four consecutive years.
