About the Item

Fantastic Art Deco Wall Glazed Ceramic Plate. A couple in Love. Very Romantic, both legs together form a heart. Spectacula piece of a fantastic Artist. André Metthey – or Méthey name under which he signed his first works – is a ceramist born June 4, 1871 in Laignes in Côte-d'Or. André Metthey was the eldest of four children; very quickly, the family moved to Dijon. At the age of twelve, André Metthey began working for a marble worker and took industrial art classes at the École des beaux-arts in Dijon. André Metthey leaves Dijon with his family for Paris. Between November 1892 and September 1893, he did his military service in the 4th Infantry Regiment in Auxerre. During a drawing competition, Metthey won Édouard Garnier's book on ceramics, which was at the origin of his vocation. At the end of the 1890s, he was an ornamental sculptor and worked for a time for the famous piano factory Pleyel, Lyon, Wolff & Cie. In 1901, André Metthey married Emma Louise Meunier with whom he had a son, Jean. It was that same year that he moved to Asnières-sur-Seine where he devoted himself fully to the art of ceramics and exhibited for the first time at the Salon des Indépendants. At the Salon d'Automne in 1907, André Metthey presented works from his collaboration with painters such as Maurice Denis, Maurice de Vlaminck, Henri Matisse and Georges Rouault. Indeed, around 1906, under the impetus of the art dealer Ambroise Vollard, he had invited painters to his studio in Asnières to decorate his pieces in tanniferous earthenware. On this occasion, André Metthey took care to publish in the Grande Revue an article called "The Renaissance of Stanniferous Earthenware". This collaboration between Metthey and the painters soon ceased. The year 1909 is that of consecration. He presented his glazed land to the general public and received great critical success. That same year, a solo exhibition was dedicated to him at the Musée Galliera in Paris. In 1910, his workshop in Asnières was submerged by water due to the flooding of the Seine. Subsequently, Metthey was forced to cease its activity between 1914 and 1917 due to the First World War, and his workshop was within firing range of enemy lines. He died on March 31, 1920 of tuberculosis, a disease that had plagued him all his life.
