Robert Deblander - Pyrités sandstone 60/70s
Robert Deblander Robert Deblander is one of the great French ceramists. His thrown and shaped pieces defined a new classicism in ceramics during the second half of the twentieth century. A complete artist and an independent figure, he distinguished himself through emblematic stoneware and porcelain pottery forms, and through a subtle chromatic range of monochrome glazes. His rounded or breakwater-shaped vases, with their precise, highly architectural profiles, literally cut through the space into which they are integrated, and even appear to be a fragment of it.
En 2001, l’exposition rétrospective de Robert Deblander au musée de la Céramique de Sèvres avait permis l’édition d’un livre catalogue. L’ouvrage épuisé est aujourd’hui réédité dans une version augmentée et réactualisée. L’auteur de cette nouvelle édition est Madame Antoinette Faÿ-Hallé, conservateur général du Patrimoine, chargé du musée national de Céramique de Sèvres.
Robert Deblander, who passed away in 2010, has a well-established reputation in France and abroad. The taut, monochrome classicism of his stoneware places him irrevocably in the avant-garde, alongside his counterparts (Joulia, Lerat, de Vinck...).
