Carpet design was asked of him: Who is Henri Georges Adam?

(1904-1967) French artist. He has been active in the fields of sculpture, painting, stage decoration, and carpet design. He was born in Paris. He died in Perros-Guiree, England. He worked as an engraver in his father's jewelry shop. On the other hand, he trained himself in drawing and painting. He gave products in the fields of painting, technical drawing, and graphics. In 1934 he started working on various engraving techniques. He prepared stamping patterns by processing metal plates with acid or engraving pens. Later, he made abstract-style carvings on copper. He won the Blumenthal Prize in 1938 for this work. In 1957 he received the first prize at two international exhibitions in Ljubljana and Tokyo. Utilizing traditional calligraphy and scans in his carvings, Adam divided the plate into sections and rearranged them as a whole.

Henri-Georges Adam (14 January 1904 – 27 August 1967) was a French engraver and non-figurative sculptor of the École de Paris, who was also involved in the creation of numerous monumental tapestries. His work in these three areas is regarded as among the most extensive of the twentieth century.

He started sculpture work in 1939. Picasso's attention was drawn to his 1943 work Le Gisant ("The Reclining Man"). The earliest sculptures of Adam are figures inspired by mythological subjects. These figures, as seen in Brancusi, are processed in the form of reducing the body to its main parts without giving details. The artist's later sculptures, on the other hand, consist of abstract organic forms, singly or in groups. This organism is sometimes also a human figure, as in the Nude made of marble in 1948. Most of Adam's abstract sculptures are adorned with graphic works, often featuring geometric shapes. Harp's influence is seen in these. Besides the statue, Adam also made some monuments. One of them is Phare des Morts, which he built in memory of those who died in the Auschwitz concentration camp.

In 1959, he began to teach sculpture at the Paris Academy. Another field of work of the artist was stage decoration. He applied a surrealist style in the decorations he made for Sartre's Les Mouches in 1944, and he also used sculpture.

He developed a new technique in his carpet design studies, which he started in 1946. He made the carpet patterns of the UNESCO building in Paris and the French embassy in Washington. He made large-scale, abstract compositions using only black and white colors and using color toning. These reflect the artist's carving and graphic design aspects.

Considered one of the most important print mold makers of the recent period, Adam is a versatile artist who has been active in sculpture, graphics, and carpet design.
