Artist

  • Jean Lurçat


Glazed ceramic tile based on a design by Jean Lurçat, produced by the Sant Vicens workshop in Perpignan circa 1950.

The composition features a stylized fsiren evoking an aquatic form, rendered through a free and expressive graphic vocabulary. The enamelled surfaces in contrasting tones of red, yellow and white against a deep brown ground emphasize the outlined drawing and create an immediate visual impact. The deliberately simplified forms, characteristic of Lurçat's work, place the piece within a modern and symbolic decorative approach.

Manufacturer: Saint Vicens, Perpignan, circa 1950.
