Jacques Pouchain ceramic sculpture

At the end of the 1940s, Jacques Pouchain left Paris and interrupted his architectural training to devote himself to art in the south of France. He set up a ceramic workshop in Dieulefit where he created a personal work and a utilitarian production. His practice of using a white glaze on a manganese oxide with an engraved decoration is quite close to the Anglo-Saxon practices of the 1950s. In the 1960s, he approaches abstraction before developing, in the 1970s, the theme of femininity and fertility.
