Prix Blumenthal

Beginning in 1919 the foundation awarded nearly two hundred grants, and on April 11, 1937, the Prix Blumenthal was declared d'utilité publique ("of public service"), giving it a special tax classification.

[1] At the time of the foundation's dissolution in 1973[2] it was under the direction of Georges Huisman, director of the école des Beaux-Arts, along with author André Maurois and novelist Roland Dorgelès.

Composer Georges Migot served as vice-president and subsequently as president (1931–1935)[2] of the foundation, as well as the archivist of the winners.

Blumenthal died in Paris in 1930, at age fifty-five,[1] having won, along with her husband, the French Legion of Honor the previous year.

In 1952 Marrot was awarded the French Légion d'honneur (Legion of Honor), (Chevalier) – and her textiles continue under license to diverse companies including Nike, Anthropologie and the handbag maker, Hayden-Harnett.
