16 May 2016 Artist: PHILIPPE LEDOUX
The abridged history below is from this website: https://carredeparis.me/2013/07/17/philippe-ledoux-the-other-hermes-legend/
Like Hugo Grygkar, Philippe Ledoux left a huge impact on the Maison Hermès, in particular the Hermès Carré. Some of the most collected Hermes carrés, such as Napoléon, La Comédie Italienne and Cosmos, are among his creations. Other highly popular Ledoux scarves are Springs, Grønland (Groenland), Harnais de Cour and La Promenade de Longchamps.
Born November 24th, 1903 in Sheffield, Great Britain to French parents, his family returned to France in 1915. His artistic talents were recognized and encouraged early by his mother, Marie Villaret, who herself was an accomplished watercolorist and illustrator of children’s books. After some time in Rome, Philippe returned to Paris to study at the Académies de Peinture et de Dessin. In his thirties, he lived in London until 1937, when he married a Frenchwoman, Madeleine Gautier and they settled in Cormeilles-en-Vexin. Ledoux enlisted as a liaison officer with the British Army and was transferred to Dunkirk, while Madeleine stayed back at their home in France. After the war, the couple lived in a village north of the French capital, where Philippe worked from home as a book illustrator and spent his free time at a local cafe sketching caricatures, a pastime he had picked up while living in London. His first illustrations were for books; both for both adults and children. Soon his style, sense of composition, accuracy and sensitivity of his drawings began to draw national attention. The Des Amis des Musée de la Marine (The Friends of French National Navy Museum) asked Ledoux to become the illustrator of their publication, Neptunia
Philippe Ledoux was enlisted by Robert Dumas in 1947 to design for the Maison Hermès. His amazing talents as an artist and illustrator can be enjoyed in the 90 carrés that he had created during his tenure at the design house. His last two carrés, La Marine (a Rames) and Les Trois Mousquetaires, were finished by his nephew, Vladimir Rybaltchenko, after a motorcycle accident that took his life c. 1975. Hermès issued a number of Ledoux’s carrés after his death.
Many of Ledoux’s creations have equestrian (Monsieur Dumas was particularly fond of Ledoux’s ability to draw horses) or naval themes. His love of ships and sailing may have been inspired by his grandfather, who was an accomplished sailor and who won several trophies for the Yacht Club of France. Philippe Ledoux possessed not only a great sense of humor and a generous spirit, he was an enormously gifted artist. His art will live on, be it in a book, a magazine, or better yet, on a lovely vintage carré.
