TAITTINGER Collection Vieira da Silva

Description: Having forged strong links with several artists, Claude Taittinger created the Taittinger Collection in 1983. He received support from some of the greatest names in contemporary art to showcase the best vintage Grands Crus produced by the Champagne House. The bottle becomes both the canvas and the inspiration for a creation, signed by a distinguished artist. Artist: Vieira da Silva was born in Lisbon in 1908 and died in Paris in 1992. She divided her life between the cultural centres of both Portugal and France. She set up home very early on in Paris with her husband, the Hungarian painter Szenes, and she successfully enrolled in the famous Paris (ART?) school. She was captivated by a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and used it as inspiration for her understanding of space as shown in the design of the stage and the depiction of the relationship between reality and make-believe. Vieira da Silva created happy paintings. The rhythm of the lines and colours have an intense musicality and mysterious feel. Imagination is not so much a construction of the mind, but a way of creating it. This paradoxical association runs through all of Vieira da Silva’s work, caught between effusion and restraint, meticulousness and chaos, and darkness and light.Art: For her design for the Taittinger Collection, she had fun placing the precious bottle for a split second behind one of those remarkable stained glass windows which she alone could imagine. The spots of colour which landed on it remain fixed there for ever! However, they don’t just stay there in a static manner, they in fact rise in a stream of bubbles, thanks to da Silva’s conviction in her artwork.
