Lalanne Bestiaires, by P.Mauriès, Edition, Paris, 022, illustrated pp.18.
Throughout his career, François-Xavier Lalanne was particularly influence by the stone reliefs of ancient animals and the idolatrous sculpture of Hindu deities. The elephant is part of a sacred circle in the Hindu culture, they symbolize prosperity, intelligence, vivacity and wisdom. The animal is also the living embodiment of one of their most important gods: Ganesh.
Thus, in his unique way, the artist transforms his fascination for the hidden inner life of this mammal into conceptual and evolved sculptural forms, while concealing a utilitarian function.
With his singular ability, Lalanne adapts animal and mythological imagery into unique pieces of furniture. Surrealism enters into the elaborate lines of the animals'' bodies to bring out the most amazing things about them.

- La Galère, 1950 - ceramic, 46x132x5By Les ArgonautesLocated in Nice, FRVery Big Ceramic from "Les Argonautes" 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.Category
