“Her art is a language. Like others with words, Paule Marrot with leaves and flowers, describes this thing so simple and so difficult to express which is called happiness.” André Arbus

Daring to be happy is a form of audacity. This is the message that Paule Marrot conveys to us through her creations, motifs imbued with poetry, fantasy, and the pleasure of living.

We notice in this discreet and joyful woman a determination and an unlimited freedom of creative expression. In the heart of the 20’s, from her first attempts, she launched a style that belongs to her alone. With her printed cotton canvases, Paule Marrot opens the doors to a happy island populated by children, birds in flight, naughty and friendly animals that seem to gambol right on the fabrics, trees and fruits and especially flowers, pansy seedlings, bouquets of tulips, and roses in batches. I didn’t care about fashion,” she explains. I simply drew what I thought was pretty and harmonious, tender, kind… “. Fashion, indeed, has never been her business. She follows her instinct, her admirably composed drawings with dynamic and falsely naive features unfold along the films with a lightness full of harmony. In 1932, at the Salon des Arts Décoratifs, she met a public tired of heavy motifs and muted tones. It will get excited for its bright and fresh colors, its wild grasses, its bouquets. Throughout her career, she was inspired by her everyday life, by the things she loved. Music, reading, her family life, nature are inexhaustible sources for more than 700 works, each more imaginative and poetic than the last.

Paule Marrot has influenced textile creation until today. We would like to introduce her to the new generations because she is a kind of “memory” of modern decoration. It is only fair to give this precursor a well-deserved place.

Her work illustrates the extent of Paule Marrot’s talent, which her friend and admirer André Arbus described as follows: “Her art is a language.

Like others with words, Paule Marrot with leaves and flowers, describes this thing so simple and so difficult to express which is called happiness (…).

Her first percales are as current as those of today. Her first percales are as current as those of today, so they are appropriate in our interiors where objects from different periods and styles are mixed together (…) In this civilization of cities, the apartments that Paule Marrot decorates seem to open onto gardens and the light that filters through her curtains is that of happy days.
