“Centaure” 

Twins Jan and Joël Martel were influential artists of the Art Deco and Cubism movements, evidenced here in this mascot of a centaur holding a toy car. The Martel brothers shared a studio and used the same signature. They belonged to groups of fine and decorative artists who strove to break free of tradition.
