L’auteur y manifeste son admiration pour le caractère novateur de cette maison construite « par un artiste pour un artiste ». La villa Majorelle est élevée dans les années 1901-1902 , dans ce qui est encore la banlieue peu urbanisée de Nancy. Louis Majorelle décide de construire, au milieu d’un parc arboré, ses ateliers et sa villa. Il dénomme celle-ci Jika en l’honneur de son épouse Jeanne Kretz (initiales JK). Cette villa est le fruit d’une collaboration entre un architecte, Henri Sauvage , qui débute sa carrière, et un industriel d’art déjà reconnu, Louis Majorelle . Les deux hommes se connaissent car ils fréquentent les mêmes lieux parisiens, l’atelier du sculpteur Alexandre Charpentier en particulier. Ils y côtoient d’autres artistes, tels Hector Guimard et le peintre Francis Jourdain, qui participa à la décoration de la villa Majorelle.

Passion. Fonction. Beauté. va interpeller la jeune génération non seulement par la personnalité de l’architecte dont la carrière mouvementée peut servir d’inspiration aux artistes encore aujourd’hui mais aussi parce qu’elle met en lumière cette époque troublée dans laquelle il vit. Imaginez un artiste qui, avant même l’unification de l’Europe, a travaillé dans cinq pays différents, a beaucoup voyagé malgré deux guerres mondiales et a mené une passionnante carrière personnelle, de peintre d’abord et ensuite d’architecte et de designer. Chaque artiste s’inscrit dans son époque et donc l’exposition détaille le travail d’Henry van de Velde mais elle parle aussi de son entourage à commencer par sa formidable épouse, Maria Sèthe, les amis qui l’ont inspiré, ses camarades d’étude et ses collègues, ses critiques et les commanditaires avec lesquels il a collaboré et enfin ses partisans ou adversaires politiques.

With the rise of department stores, the fashion press, and textile innovations in mid-nineteenth-century France, fashion became synonymous with the modern urban experience. Concomitantly with the emergence of the modern fashion system, the city of Paris was itself refashioned through vast urbanization projects. This metropolitan redesign created new points of intersection between the dressed body and the city.
