Original Description
Simon Albert Bussy's Lemurs is a mesmerizing Art Deco masterpiece from 1931 that captures the exotic allure of Madagascar's primates with refined elegance. The painting showcases Bussy's signature blend of precise linearity and subtle tonal gradations, reflecting both his artistic training under Gustave Moreau and the influence of post-Impressionist simplification. Against an abstracted jungle backdrop rendered in muted greens and ochres, the two lemurs are portrayed with almost scientific accuracy yet imbued with poetic stillness – their elongated limbs and watchful eyes creating a harmonious rhythm. This rare zoomorphic composition holds particular significance in Bussy's oeuvre as one of few animal studies, exemplifying early 20th-century Europe's fascination with exoticism while maintaining the decorative restraint of high modernist painting. Now housed in Musée des Années Trente, it represents an important bridge between Symbolist sophistication and the sleek functional aesthetic of interwar design.
For interior applications, Lemurs would anchor a sophisticated study or executive office with its quiet dynamism. Its 81x65cm dimensions demand a prominent wall space – ideally above a minimalist teak credenza or flanked by brass sconces to enhance its metallic undertones. The painting's earthy palette pairs beautifully with cognac leather furnishings and matte black accents, while its vertical composition balances low-slung mid-century furniture. In a residential setting, position it in a sunlight-dappled reading nook alongside potted monsteras to echo its jungle motifs, or as a striking counterpoint in an all-white gallery wall featuring Bussy's botanical sketches. The work's subtle silver leaf detailing (visible in person) suggests pairing with mercury glass accessories, and its restrained coloration makes it adaptable from Scandi-minimalist to tropical modern schemes. For optimal impact, install directional lighting at 30-degree angles to highlight the lemurs' textured fur rendering.
