Catalogue Note
Victor Grandpierre œuvra comme décorateur dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, notamment auprès de grands couturiers dont il décora les salons, comme ceux de Christian Dior avenue Montaigne (1946) et ou d'Yves Saint Laurent avenue Marceau (1972).
Ses décors sont réalisés dans un goût néo-Louis XVI, dans des tonalités grises et blanches avec de lourdes tentures ornées de riches passementeries, créant ainsi une ambiance calme et sobre.
