Eyre de Lanux (born Elizabeth Eyre; March 20, 1894 – September 8, 1996) was an American artist, writer, and designer.[1] De Lanux is best known for designing lacquered furniture and geometric patterned rugs, in the art deco style, in Paris during the 1920s.[1] She later illustrated a number of children's books. She died in New York at the age of 102.

Early life and career

She was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, the eldest daughter of Richard Derby Eyre (1869-1955) and Elizabeth Krieger Eyre (d. 1938).[2]

She studied art at the Art Students League in Manhattan and exhibited two paintings, L'Arlesienne and Allegro in the first annual exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists in 1917.

In 1918 she met and married, French writer and diplomat, Pierre Combret de Lanux (1887-1955) in New York. After the end of World War I they moved to Paris.[3] Their daughter, Anne-Françoise, nicknamed "Bikou," was born December 19, 1925.

In 1943, de Lanux was included in Peggy Guggenheim's show Exhibition by 31 Women at the Art of This Century gallery in New York.[4]

Personal relationships

When the newly married couple settled in Paris their circle included André Gide, Ernest Hemingway, and Bernard Berenson. Though married, de Lanux was bisexual. Her lovers reportedly included Pierre Drieu La Rochelle and Louis Aragon.[5]

She is best known as having been one of the many long-term lesbian lovers of writer and artist Natalie Barney.[6] The two met through common friends, at Barney's popular Paris Salon and became an on-again-off-again couple for many years.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}}

Due in part to Jean Chalon's early biography of Barney, published in English as Portrait of a Seductress: The World of Natalie Barney, she has become more widely known for her many relationships than for her writing or her salon.[7]

Designs

Her designs first came into notice during the early 1920s, and were often exhibited with those of designers Eileen Gray and Jean-Michel Frank. While still in France, she wrote short stories of her European travels. In 1955, her husband died. Shortly afterward, she returned to the U.S., and in the 1960s she wrote for Harper's Bazaar.

In her later years she wrote and illustrated a number of children's books. She died at the age of 102, at the Dewitt Nursing Home in Manhattan.
