Georges Manzana-Pissarro (1871-1961), the third son of Camille Pissarro, developed a passion for the world of One Thousand and One Nights and made it the central theme of his work starting in 1906. Wanting to illustrate it, he approached Dr. Joseph-Charles Mardrus, whose translation was then celebrated by the art world. To this end he selected two tales, History of six adolescents with different colors and Abou-Nowas and the Bath of Sett Zobéida, for which he chose the technique of stenciling enhanced with gold and silver. This project to which he dedicated years was never published; the artist kept his plates carefully and bound them in a luxurious case that he dedicated to his son. Although an impressionist landscape painter trained alongside his father, he preferred to invent a handcrafted decorative art for himself. He thus drew from an imaginary Orient the motifs of his works but also those of his decorative objects, ceramics, faïences, stained glass, painted glass, tapestries and furniture that would appear in his grand 1914 exhibition to which the Musée des Arts Décoratifs dedicated him. Manzana's Orient is a sensual paradise popularized by Romantic literature. Émile Henriot, in an article of 914, thus described Manzana's Orient: “Nothing more surprising, for someone who hadn’t yet seen anything from this artist, than the exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. Imagine yourself transported, by the will of an all-powerful magician, to the world of the farthest fantasy, in a fantastic and opulent Orient, such as Gauthier never dreamed, such as Loti has not seen…” Some images are generated by AI to show how the object might look in context.
