Jean Elysée Puiforcat (August 5, 1897 – October 20, 1945) was a French silversmith, sculptor and designer. Miller's Antiques Encyclopedia calls Puiforcat the "most important French Art Deco silversmith."

Life and career

Descartes (Amsterdam)

Puiforcat served in World War I. After the war, he apprenticed as a silversmith and a designer. He lived in Paris. He designed in the art deco style. His silver work had smooth surfaces and was based on the geometric series. Ivory, onyx, lapis lazuli, and rosewood were used to decorate pieces. He also used gilding. Puiforcat left Paris and moved to Saint-Jean-de-Luz, around 1927. He worked briefly in Havana, Cuba from 1928 thru 1930. Fench painter and sculptor Henri Charlier who was born in the Montmartre quarter of Paris on 1883 was a good friend of Puiforcat. Henry and Puiforcat exchanged many letters which his daughter Alizabeth Charlier kept along with photos of a trip that her father Henri made to Havana. The photos were at the shop where Puiforcat and a cuban sculptor by the name of Juan Comas were sculpting lions to be casted in bronze for an important Havana Avenue. Puiforcat, Henri and Comas became acquainted during his stay in Havana. From one of his letters from Cuba, he wrote about how little credit had been given to the cuban sculptor , only because he (Puiforcat) was famous. He seemed to admire Juan Comas' talent very much. Henri and Puiforcat kept the friendship and even met in Mexico around 1943. Puiforcat co-founded the Union des Artistes Modernes. He started designing tableware and by 1934 he also had designed liturgical silver. In 1941, he moved to Mexico. After his move, he started exhibiting in the United States. Puiforcat's name is synonymous with Art Deco glamour; even in his day, the important French silversmith was renowned for the elegant, often mathematical simplicity of his geometric forms and the unexpected combination of flawless metalwork with brilliantly polished hardstones, semiprecious stones, or glass.

Legacy

Andy Warhol collected Puiforcat silverware, which he acquired while visiting Paris in the 1970s. In 1988, Warhol memorabilia was sold at Sotheby's. The collection sold for $451,000 and a tureen with an aventurine decoration sold for $55,000. Work by Puiforcat is held in the collection of the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum. A chain of boutiques is named after him, which sell his designs and sculptures.

Stylish shirt
Size: 14"-14.5" Neck 32"-33" Sleeve, Color: Ash Green
Perfect fit and size, as promoted. The quality and feel (comfort) are nice. The color is a little lighter than what I could see on the screen, but I liked it. The shirt is not too thin or thick.

Great shirt! Great price!
Size: 17"-17.5" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: Medium Blue
These shirts are listed for sale on Amazon with the title "Unlisted by Kenneth Cole men's Slim Fit." To me these shirts aren't "Slim Fit." I have purchased "Slim Fit" shirts in the past from other manufacturers and they were always too tight on me. I'm 6ft and 185 lbs. To me these shirts are more a standard fit and they fit me perfectly. They are made with a combination of cotton and polyester which means they resist wrinkling. And for about $20 each they are a great deal! Kenneth Cole also sells their "Unlisted by Kenneth Cole men's Regular Fit" on Amazon. These shirts should be called "Big and Tall" or "Full Size" fit. This is the first shirt I ordered, and they were too big on me. They are mostly for chubby or muscular men.
