Discover this rare book, François Raty 1928-1982 Vallauris, written by Sandra Benadretti-Pellard, published in 2011 by Atelier 49 and Magnelli publishers (ISBN 2953899502, 44 pages in French, semi-rigid cover, very good condition, like new). François Raty, a French ceramist, painter, sculptor, and goldsmith little known to novices but a major figure in the art of ceramics in the 20th century, reveals the full extent of his talent.
Born in Paris to a family of industrialists, and trained at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière from 1946, he settled in 1951 in the pottery district where René Maurel taught him ceramics. His unique pieces are distinguished by engraved motifs enhanced with brown enamels, inspired by the animal kingdom (birds, monkeys, fennec foxes, bulls, horses, gorillas, insects) and hieratic figures, created in both ceramic and bronze, with a sarcastic humor reminiscent of Picasso and the Surrealists. Before his untimely death in 1982, Raty left behind a rich artistic legacy.
This valuable and excellent condition monographic catalogue is an indispensable reference for any collector or enthusiast of modern Mediterranean art.
