Georges JOUVE (1910-1964) Exceptional and rare free-form sculpture in black glazed ceramic resting on an original square stone base. Bears the artist's alpha on the base. H. 47 cm (ceramic only) H. 52 cm (total) Circa 1951 Provenance : - Private collection, Eastern France. References - Georges Jouve, Jousse entreprise, 2005, similar copy reproduced p. 236. - Michel Faré, Georges Jouve, Art et Industrie, 1965, similar copy reproduced on p. 84. Note: Sensual, tactile, attractive, this sculpture marks a turning point in Jo's work. From 1950 onwards, his work would evolve, with forms becoming purer and freer. "Thus, the interplay of formal variations, volumes, hollows and stretches organized themselves to generate organic, biomorphic sculptures" JJ Wattel. This piece admits to affinities with works by Hans Arp and Henry Moore. Like Matisse, black was one of his favorite colors: "Black is a color in itself, which sums up and consumes all the others. It's worth remembering that it was in 1946 that Jouve "made the deep black of such beautiful brilliance fashionable". We have to go back to the Etruscans of the sixth century B.C. to find the comparable "buccero nero", made of clay blackened in the mass by the addition of lampblack. This translucent, shimmering pottery gives the illusion of metal. Michel Faré. But how this black is obtained, explains his wife Jacqueline For the black, the glaze was a Paris glaze, which was a simple black... We glazed it quite thickly, just before it sank, well before it was too thick, but as thickly as possible, and then we attacked it with an acid. We attacked it a little to get a surface that was a little less smooth, well a little rougher, and sometimes we waxed it very lightly but immediately afterwards with acid because the acid dried it out, it had to be rewetted a little, but we never told people to wax them, never ever".

* Vladimir KLEIN (Né en 1950) - Sun-ship, 2004 Sculpture in transparent and yellow-tinted glass. H: 58 x W: 60 x D: 10 cm Shards Vladimir Klein's artistic career is exceptional: he was a student at the Academy of Applied Arts in Prague in Professor Libensky's class, after spending four years at the Kamenicky Senov Glass School, of which he then became principal designer and finally director from 1985 to 1990. He was called to teach in Japan, where his reputation became so strong that, following an exhibition in 2000, he was named a National Living Treasure (a rare distinction in Japan). From then on, he divided his time between Japan and the Novy Bor crystal glassworks, where he remained advisor, designer and director. Renowned the world over as a major artist, he is sought after by the greatest international collectors.
