About the Item

Vase by Robert and Jean Cloutier, twin masters of French ceramics known for their rich and dreamlike universe. This diabolo vase with a flared neck is glazed in deep plum tones on the exterior. The interior is coated with a thin layer of white slip, subtly revealing the red clay beneath - a delicate and distinctive finish emblematic of the Cloutier brothers' craftsmanship. Signed underneath: Cloutier France. Provenance: Artists' studio. A certificate of authenticity from the widows of the Cloutier brothers will be provided to the buyer. More about the artists : Robert and Jean were born in Paris in 1930. French ceramicists and sculptors, they led a long joint career until Robert's death in 2008. They were trained in the rudiments of ceramics and stucco at the Meaux School of Ceramics, they continued to develop their skills throughout their career working in various Parisian workshops. They both worked at Lafourcade until Robert joined the studio of Georges Jouve and Jean that of Michel Rivière. Pol Chambost, a notorious sculptor and ceramist, then hired them. In 1955, they opened their own ceramic workshop in Paris, while the influence of Georges Jouve and Marie Vassilieff is strong, the Cloutier Brothers develop their own style, a very personal poetry, or dreamworld. They use intense colors in mono or bichromatic designs. It is during this period that they develop the "Cloutier Rouge" (Red), a red enamel that meets international success and contributes greatly to their notoriety. In 1972, Robert and Jean moved to the Yonne before settling permanently in Marsillargues, in the South of France, in 1978. Their work is regularly showcased in France, and internationally.
