Robert Deblander
The reputation of Robert Deblander (1924-2010) is well established in France and abroad. The taut, monochrome classicism of his stoneware placed him irrevocably in the avant-garde, alongside his counterparts (Joulia, Lerat, de Vinck...).
A leading figure in contemporary ceramics, Robert Deblander is one of those ceramists whose work is the most accomplished expression of French ceramic art in the second half of the twentieth century.e century.
" Robert Deblander is one of the great French ceramists. His turned and shaped pieces defined a new classicism in ceramics in the second half of the 20th century. A complete artist and an independent figure, he distinguished himself with emblematic stoneware and porcelain pottery shapes and a subtle color range of monochrome glazes. His round or breakwater-shaped vases, with their precise, highly architectural profile, literally cut through the space in which they are inserted, and even appear to be a fragment of it."
