Roger Capron - Ceramic Sculpture Indien

About the Item

Vintage ceramic sculpture of Indian head by Roger Capron. Signed by Capron Vallauris, France. Roger Capron was in influential French ceramicist, known for his tiled tables and his use of recurring motifs such as stylized branches and geometrical suns. He was born in Vincennes, France on September 4, 1922. Interested in drawing, he studied Applied Arts in Paris from 1939 to 1943 and worked as an art teacher in 1945. In 1946, Capron moved to Vallauris, where in collaboration with Robert Picault and Jean Derval, he founded a ceramics workshop known as 'l`Atelier Callis', contributing to the renaissance of ceramics in Vallauris, France. In 1952, he purchased an abandoned pottery in Vallauris, a city known since the time of the Romans for its pottery. He opened a small ceramics factory with 15 workers. By 1957 he had established a considerable international reputation. In 1980 his factory employed 120 people and during that same decade he reverted to making one-off pieces which were shown internationally. He has won numerous prizes, among them the Gold Medal at Brussels Exhibition of Architectural Ceramics (1957 & 1958), the Grand Prix International de la Céramique (1970) and the Prix Spécial de l'Architecture (1980). In 2000, Gueridon held an enormously successful exhibition in NYC where Mr. Capron made a small drawing for every guest who attended. Due to Gueridon's public relations campaign and an article in the New York Times hailing Capron as "one of the most successful and valuable Artists of European design in the post-war period", Mr. Capron became a household name in the US. Roger Capron sadly passed on November 8, 2006, leaving behind a considerable body of internationally acclaimed works which is collected worldwide.
