Footnote
Note: Originally from Hungary Adalbert-Georges Szabo became a member of the Société des Artistes Décorateurs in 1907. A stylistic shift in his work became apparent after 1918 when his traditional designs began to show the angular influence of Art Deco. One of his most noted designs was for twelve medallions for the pair of doors leading to the first-class private dining rooms of the ocean line Normandie.
