About the Item

Georges Pelletier (1938), Set of four plates, Black, gold and red enamelled ceramic with solar decoration, Signed on the back, circa 1970, France. Measure: Depth. 26,8 cm Georges Pelletier is a French ceramicist and artist born October 9, 1938 in Brussels. He began his training as a ceramicist at the age of twelve at the Pioulier school in Vence, founded by Célestin Freinet. This school teaches free and modern art for its time. This training allowed him from an early age to build a unique artistic identity. In 1961 he opened his first workshop in Paris, where he created his first unique pieces. He was spotted by Maison Bobois for his talent. This is why he became the supplier of the Bobois lighting collections from 1961 to 1973. He dedicated his workshop to creating lighting for this large house and for living rooms. In 1973, he decided to leave for the south, to Cannes, where he set up a new workshop where he was still active and continued to work.

Albert Chubac, Painting, France, circa 1960
By Albert Chubac
Located in Nice, Cote d' Azur
Albert Chubac (1925-2008), Acrylic painting on cardboard, Stamped, France, circa 1960. Measures: Height 100 cm, width 140 cm. Albert Chubac was born in Geneva in 1920. After studying decorative art, then at the Beaux-Arts in Geneva, he obtained grants to travel to Italy, Algeria, Spain, Egypt and Greece, stages which will mark his work. He settled in 1964 on the Côte d ‘Azur in Aspremont in a very Spartan house, attracted by the light, the sun and the colors of nature. The year 1967 is the year of the establishment of the School of Nice. He will work and exhibit alongside Aman, César, Tinguely, Gilli, Ben, Rayse, etc ... In 1990, it was the consecration with the opening of MAMAC in Nice. Albert Chubac then becomes accessible to the general public. He will use solid primary colors, will develop modifiable structures and then develop the collages in three dimensions. Gradually, he broke away from his classical training and figuration to move towards abstraction through the encounters and influences of contemporary artists. Always in search of simplicity, He will radically limit the plastic means with a reduced palette, geometric shapes and simple gestures to concentrate on minimum conditions of possibility. His work, which lies between constructivism and geometric abstraction, is playful and imbued with the artist's joie de vivre. In 2004, following the major retrospective at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Nice, he donated around one hundred works to the City of Nice. Albert Chubac died in 2008 in Tourrette-Levens, near Aspremont.
