Work of the 30's Suite of 6 dessert plates of circular form decorated with women 1930 with the fan, the face with hand, the bouquet of flowers. Justified and marked EMAUX FSG - "Exposition Universelle Paris 1937. Registered design" on the reverse. Diameter: 22 cm Wear Note : Close work of Robert LALLEMANT (1902-1954). After studying at the Beaux-Arts in Dijon under Ovide YENCESSE, he worked at LACHENAL from 1921 to 1922 in order to learn and improve his art as a ceramist. The following year he bought a small "bleus de Sèvres" workshop at 5 passage d'Orléans in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, which he then moved to the Quai d'Auteuil. With the help of his wife, he began a highly avant-garde production. For each of his models, he made a drawing, then a plaster on which he continued to work until he obtained a perfect shape, then he made a mould. Sensitive to the graphics of LABOUREUR, LEPAPE or VALMIER, his themes dealt with popular songs, sports, vices and virtues, and elegant women. He produced highly constructed cubist drawings which can of course also be found on his vases, plates and also on lamp-posts, with enormous success. A member of the UAM (Union of Modern Artists), he is one of the rare modernists, along with Jean LUCE, to have used ceramics to create designs that are deeply rooted in the modern vision of the time.
