TEC4554692: Grand Magazine La Samaritaine, Paris 1. Architecture by Frantz Jourdain (1847-1935) and Henri Sauvage (1873-1932), 1926-1928. The Samaritaine is the result of the meeting of three strong personalites: the couple Ernest Cognacq - Louise Jay and the architect Frantz Jourdain. The Samaritan is the shop that went the farthest in the alliance of visual arts and advertising so characteristic of Art Nouveau. He does not prevent the massive use of iron from being forgiven to Frantz Jourdain. Just reserved for the poor, he was approached by the School of Fine Arts and the political community... No salvation except stone. The metallic structure painted in blue is set with ornaments: fresco by Francis Jourdain, enamelled flowery lavas by Francois Gillet and mosaic signs by Eugene Grasset. Note the admirable Art Nouveau ironwork of the staircase. Photography 1996. / Bridgeman Images
