Musée Ducastel-Vera

The Vera rooms are dedicated to the work of brothers Paul and André Vera, creators of Art Deco. The temporary exhibition highlights Paul’s favourite colour, which is absent from the ordinary repertoire of this geometric and refined style. At Vera, a warm red, scarlet and orange is synonymous with happiness, nature, the joy of living.

À propos du lieu

Musée municipal - Espace Paul-et-André-Vera

2 rue Henri-IV 78100 Saint-Germain-en-Laye

Yvelines
Île-de-France

Established in Saint-Germain-en-Laye on their property in La Thébaïde, Paul (1882-1957), a painter and decorator, and André Vera (1881-1971), a garden theorist, contributed to the influence of the Art Deco movement. The Thébaïde was designed by Jean-Charles Moreux (1889-1956) according to a rational conception of modern decoration. The collections bear witness to the diversity of Paul’s artistic production in the field of decorative arts (tapestry, ceramics, illustrated books, etc.) and garden projects during the interwar period. The dining room and the office of André Vera are restored.
