About the Item

Mixed media on plywood, signed on back. Armand Avril, né à Lyon en 1926, est un peintre vivant à Cotignac dans le Var. Il est surtout connu pour les assemblages qu'il a réalisés à partir de 1968. D'origine modeste, cependant très tôt intéressé par l'art et les musées où le poussait son père, il s'essaie d'abord à la peinture. Cependant, Avril ne commence à trouver son véritable style qu'à l'âge de quarante-deux ans. Enfant, il est un habitué des musées de Lyon qu’il fréquente sur les conseils de son père. Adulte, sa passion pour la collection l’incite à se nourrir des arts premiers et d’artistes comme Gaston Chaissac ou Boris Bojnev. Ses œuvres et ses techniques le rattachent à la famille des créateurs récupérateurs comme Louise Nevelson (1899-1986) ou des artistes du mouvement Dada et leurs successeurs. Il partage aussi avec ses prédécesseurs dadaïstes une volonté de s’affranchir des conventions idéologiques et artistiques en vigueur. Il ne peut être rattaché à un seul courant artistique car il s'est inspiré de tous les artistes qui l'ont entouré au cours de sa vie. Cette diversité lui permet alors de créer un véritable univers artistique propre à l'artiste qui se fait connaitre pour ses montages en bouchons de liège dont les œuvres "Mer à Cassis" débutées en 1970.

Abstract Papier Mache Composition, 1950-60 - papier mache, 83x65x4 cm., framed
By Les Argonautes
Located in Nice, FR
Paper mache "Les Argonautes" Artist: JS. Ferlay Vallauris Workshop "Les Argonautes", Vallauris: Isabelle Ferlay (1917-?) And Frédérique Bourguet (1925-1997) Isabelle Ferlay and Frédérique Bourguet founded their ceramic workshop in Vallauris in 1953, which they named "Les Argonautes", in reference to the famous Greek epic. Isabelle studied painting at the Fine Arts school of Lyon in 1940, then she attended the Fine Arts in Marseille. Finally, she finished her artistic training in Montpellier, at the Fontcarade national school, where she learned ceramics. Françoise dit Frédérique Bourguet studied at the Beaux-Arts in Montpellier until 1945 and it was in Sèvres, in Françoise Bizette's studio, that she trained in the art of ceramics. She created her first workshop in Paris in 1945, which she shared with Valentine Schlegel until 1951. The two women ceramicists then practiced modeling technique. It was in 1953 that she met Isabelle Ferlay and together, they decided to set up a workshop in Vallauris. They produce shaped pieces, sometimes molded, made of earthenware, enamelled in bright colors. In the 1970s they made stoneware cooked over a wood fire. Some ceramists frequented their workshop, notably the very talented Jacques Innocenti and François Raty.
