About the Item
Little sculpture by the south france sculptor Edmond Vernassa. Signed.
Né à Nice, le 3 septembre 1926, Vernassa dessine et sculpte dès son plus jeune âge.
Il obtient un CAP d’électricien et travaille dès 14 ans avec son père.
Il suit les cours des Arts Décoratifs, après les journées passées sur les chantiers. Il y obtient le Grand Prix du Ministre en dessin, une première pour un élève des cours du soir. Il copie des peintures, redessine bas-reliefs et sculptures. Mines, fusains ou pastels sont ses outils. En 1950, il reprend un atelier de plasturgie et va découvrir ce matériau nouveau qu’est le Plexiglas.
Les années 60 sont marquées par la peinture et l’influence de ses amis peintres Dematteis et Angeletti (il participe à plusieurs mouvements dont les Arts Plastiques Méditerranéens). Peinture figurative puis graphismes évoluant vers le psychédélique et l’abstrait. C’est aussi le début de sa fascination pour le mouvement perpétuel. Il traduit celui-ci par des jeux de lumière qui aboutiront à la réalisation d’appareils cinéoptiques, de spirales et d’objets cinétiques se mouvant dans l’espace. Il est primé à la biennale Internationale de Menton.
Durant les années 70, dans la continuité de son étude du mouvement perpétuel, il va créer les mobiles « fleurs », - Moebius, Rond/Carré, Moulins à couleur (passage continu d’une forme à une autre qu’il avait déjà traité en cinéoptique). Les spirales à plat (dessins et collages) voient le jour quand un problème de santé le cloue au lit pendant plusieurs mois.
Dans le même temps il s’intéresse à la déformation des matériaux et les contraint afin de figer une étape de la déformation, bidon implosé, toiles étirées, plexiglas déformé, pincé.
Les années 80 et 90 l’amènent à franchir une étape supplémentaire, passant de la déformation, à la rupture des matériaux, les brisant, les déchirant, les imbriquant. Dans le même temps il reprend la peinture et commence la période des froissures soumettant toiles et papier à la déformation.
Les années 2000 le feront reprendre les hélicoïdales en plexiglas, mobiles ou stabiles, réaliser des graphismes colorés et rapporter des matériaux sur fond de froissures. Sa production est limitée car il a vendu son atelier de plasturgie et ne dispose plus des machines et d’autant d’espace qu’auparavant. Il va, au cours de cette période, s’intéresser aux reflets déformés d’objets sur des surfaces en plexiglas ou des miroirs en jouant sur des effets d’éclairage.

Abstract Papier Mache Composition, 1950-60 - papier mache, 83x65x4 cm., framed

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.
