Line VAUTRIN (1913 - 1997) is a French artist and designer of jewelry and decorative objects known worldwide. Daughter of an art bronzier, she revealed herself to be a precocious artist, who would prove to be original and independent with regard to the artistic conventions of her time. Revealed by her jewelry collection at the 1937 Universal Exhibition, which allowed her to open a boutique on the Champs Elysées, she has since created unique, strong, highly identifiable pieces, full of freedom, imagination, lyricism and poetry, but also mischievousness and humor, referring to poems, concepts, hidden messages, suggested or engraved.....Particularly innovative, she created a new material: "talosel", which can be found on many of her works, including the particularly sought-after "witch mirrors"....The invention of this material and her creative universe earned her the nickname "metal poet".
