The French Union of Modern Artists (French: Union des artistes modernes; UAM) was a movement made up of decorative artists and architects founded in France on 15 May 1929 and active until 1959. Initially made up of around 20 dissidents of the Société des Artistes-Décorateurs (SAD) and led by Robert Mallet-Stevens, the UAM offered a strong and militant alternative to the SAD. Motivated towards making a clean break from the past and struggling against objects in style, artists of the union proclaimed 'We must rise up against everything that looks rich, against whatever is well made, and against anything inherited from grandmother...impose will where habit is not invoked...overcome the habit of the eyes'. Young makers of jewellery joined the union with aims to create works of art in their fie

  • L'Union des artistes modernes, abrégé par le sigle UAM, est un mouvement d'artistes décorateurs et d'architectes fondé en France le 15 mai 1929 par Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand, Charles Édouard Jeanneret (Le Corbusier), Pierre Jeanneret et Robert Mallet-Stevens. Stoppée par la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'UAM reprend ses activités avec les expositions Formes utiles à partir de 1949. L'UAM s'arrête définitivement en 1958 mais les expositions « Formes utiles » se prolongent et sont à l'initiative du Centre de création industrielle en 1969. (fr)
  • L'Union des artistes modernes (UAM) è stato un movimento di artisti e decoratori fondato in Francia nel 1928 da Robert Mallet-Stevens e attivo fino al 1958. Il movimento, che confluì nel movimento moderno internazionale, si proponeva di superare il decorativismo dell'Art Nouveau proponendo un'architettura di pure forme e linee, funzionale e priva di decorazioni in quanto tali. Grande attenzione fu riservata alle nuove tecniche e ai nuovi materiali (come il cemento armato). (it)
