From 1927 onwards, he exhibited regularly at <em>La Cr\u00e9maill\u00e8re<\/em> gallery.<br \/>\nHowever, it was in the 1930s taht Noll\u2019s style fully developed. He designed one-off objects (trays, bowls, cases, boxes, jugs) carved out of a variet of woods, some precious (ebony, mahogany, sycamore, rosewood, violet wood) and others rustic (walnut, beech, elm).<br \/>\nNoll elevated his chosen material, of which he carved directly in the manner of a<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>sculptor\u00a0: first he would roughly cut down the timber with a saw and then refine the shape with chisels and gouges, making the most of each imperfection, knot or grain which were constitutive of the tree\u2019s individuality. Finally he would even out and polish the surfaces to achieve his signature smooth touch and stone-like sheen.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span>Noll had a passion for wood and enhanced its sensuous beauty. Based in his Fontenay aux Roses studio where he worked throughout his life, he moved from small objects to furniture, and grappled with trunks and logs. Seats, consoles, chests, tables, chests of drawers and sideboards were carved or modelled ouf of the rough material, which itself imposed the form. He disregarded unnecessary details or ornaments, and produced pieces always with their use in mind. (&#8230;)<br \/>\nNowadays his modernity is a source of fascination. It seems to reside in the purity of his forms, as much as in his sincere relation to the material, combined with an uncompromising dedication to the tireless pursuit of perfection.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;BACK&#8221; style=&#8221;classic&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jacqueslacoste.com%2Fen%2Fpublications%2F|||&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row el_id=&#8221;arianne&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=&#8221;single-prod&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12485&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;product-details&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1595431785009{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}&#8221;] ALEXANDRE NOLL, SCULPTOR 19, avenue Matignon, Paris 8 \/ October 2019 &nbsp; Alexandre Noll was born in Reims in 1890, the child of Alsatian working-class parents.
