Georges Jouve
Wall-mounted metal structure and ceramic coat rack with mirror
70 x 66cm
Georges Jouve 1910-1964
A virtuoso potter without theory, a ceramist inspired by daily practice and his intuition, Georges Jouve makes no difference between use and decoration and discovers the higher utility of beauty. Above all, he remains himself, with an originality that sows followers. Never where you expect him to be, he creates an extraordinarily varied language. Its register ranges from humor to seriousness, from popular imagery to sober classicism, from strength to lightness. Playing against the whole range of blacks and whites, smooth and cracked, it disconcerts as much as it immediately wins over. Georges Jouve breathes metallic shine and depth into his black pieces. “Black is a color” said Matisse at the same time.
