Light wear or small traces in places (see photos) Shipping costs for France: €50 Other countries: on estimate Michel Beck is above all a ceramist, he was born in 1928 in Saint Léger du Bourg Denis (Seine-Maritime), trained in 1946 at the Vierzon School of Ceramics then at the Sèvres Higher School, Michel Beck is considered at the beginning of the 60s as the best French potter, in terms of "grand feu" stoneware, a poet of forms, which earned him to be, at the time, the only guest from France at the famous Italian and Japanese salons. His refined stoneware with elegant shapes inspired by the Song and delicate glazes are a real invitation to caress. They are very difficult to find today because of the small production of the artist, nicknamed "Le Song normand": cups and vases, all unique. He will stop pottery in 1964 to devote himself to sculpture. He will exhibit all over the world. He explores bronze, steel, marble, polyester, aluminum and at the end of his career, resin because "it's freedom, I can make any shape, it changes the inspiration." He is a real jack-of-all-trades, a complete artist. Source: https://www.art-angelux.com/michel-beck
