Note:
With its butterfly motif and long antennae, this mirror perfectly illustrates the artistic language developed by Line Vautrin in the 1950s and 1960s. Using Talosel, a resin invented by Jean Decaux which became one of her favourite materials, the artist created works that blend precious materials, fragments of mirrors and forms inspired by the natural world.
