Albert Marius-Hippolyte Decaris, born May 6, 1901 in Sotteville-lès-Rouen (Seine-Inférieure) and died January 1, 1988 in Paris, is a French painter, decorator and engraver.
He worked extensively in watercolor and ink wash, often to prepare his engravings, and engraved many postage stamps.Trained in graphic arts at the Estienne School, Albert Decaris was placed in the engraving studio of Antoine Dezarrois. Received at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Cormon workshop, he won the first prize in Rome for engraving in 1919 for a work entitled Eve before sin. He had Albert Besnard as director of the Villa Medici from 1924 to 1926.
In the 1930s, the so-called “luxury” book being in vogue, Decaris illustrates the Hellenizing poems of Léon Cathlin, as well as Les Destinées de Vigny, Lettres de Rome by Chateaubriand, Le Livre des rois David et Salomon, Macbeth by Shakespeare. and Pierre de Ronsard. During the 1940s, he portrayed the work of Corneille, as well as Don Quixote or the Iliad, The Mythology of Émile Henriot, Les Odes d'Anacréon, De la vie des hommes illustres de Plutarque, Les Métamorphoses of Ovid.
Uncomfortable in symbolism, and certainly not in the abstract, he excels in animated scenes, where one finds the romantic, even epic, illustrator. His style can be recognized at first glance by the mastery of the drawing, the finesse of the hatching and the voluptuous curves.
Decaris made its first interior decoration for the Palais du Bois (H.-J. Le Meme, architect) at the 1937 International Exhibition in Paris. For the same architect, he executed murals for the porch of the Chalet de l'Inconnu, intended for the architect Jean Walter in Megève. Also in 1937, he frescoed the decoration of the town hall of Vesoul. He also designs tapestries for national furniture (La Vigne, Les Jardins). In 1938, in New York, he painted a large fresco.
He is the author of more than 600 large-scale burins, on various subjects (mythology, views of Rome, Italy, Greece, Spain and France, allegories, portraits of contemporaries or historical figures) and many watercolors and ink washes.
He designed and engraved French postage stamps, colonies and French overseas territories from 1935 to 1985. His first drawing represents the Saint-Trophime cloister in Arles, at the request of the Minister of the Post, Jean Mistler. He is considered to be one of the great designers and engravers of postage stamps, with around 500 to 600 stamps produced, including 174 for metropolitan France.
