Germaine Oury-Desruelles
was a French sculptor (1889 - 1978) born in Valenciennes.

Some of her works are exhibited at the Museum of the Thirties, in Boulogne-Billancourt, others are kept at the Valenciennes Museum of Fine Arts. The plaster of his Statue of Rabbi Abraham Bloch, from the Valenciennes Museum of Fine Arts is on deposit at the Museum of Art and History of Judaism in Paris where it is on display.

She was the wife of the sculptor Félix-Alexandre Desruelles .

In the 1960s she was in charge of the restoration of the monument to those shot in Lille
(French : Les Fusillés lillois).

Art Deco or Deco,
is an influential visual arts design style which first appeared in France during the 1920s, flourished internationally during the 30s and 40s.

It is an eclectic style that combines traditional craft motifs with Machine Ageimagery and materials. The style is often characterized by rich colours, bold geometric shapes, and lavish ornamentation.

Deco emerged from the Interwar period when rapid industrialization was transforming culture. One of its major attributes is an embrace of technology. This distinguishes Deco from the organic motifs favored by its predecessor Art Nouveau.

Historian Bevis Hillier defined Art Deco as "an assertively modern style...[that] ran to symmetry rather than asymmetry, and to the rectilinear rather than the curvilinear; it responded to the demands of the machine and of new material...[and] the requirements of mass production".

During its heyday Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.
