This wonderful book with 336 full color pages and 300 illustrations presents the French pottery of the 50's pottery of the 50's showing the works of contemporary artists like
From the post-war period until the mid-1960s, French ceramic design was characterized by an astonishing proliferation.
From the exaltation of the color to the rigor of the sandstone, the exacerbation of the sculptural forms in search of simplicity, from the series to the unique piece, it testifies to both its time and its belonging to popular arts and traditions.
The historical and thematic analysis of Pierre Staudenmeyer shows the inscription of this traditional art in a world in full mutation and its encounter with modern art, initiated by Picasso in Vallauris, a decisive meeting for the liberation of forms and the abandonment of the technical virtuosity sought until then.
The author illustrates the extraordinary vitality of the exemplary career of forty potters, such as
Roger Capron, Jean Derval, Elisabeth Joulia, Georges Jouve or Suzanne Ramiéé whose work, Whether it has a timeless dimension or represents a highlight of a closed period, has roots value for our own modernity..
The pieces reproduced in this book have all been acquired by the National Museum of Ceramics of Sèvres.
