CAPRON Roger (1922-2006
Professor of Applied Arts, Capron was initially interested in drawing. He discovered ceramics in Vallauris before Picasso, and created the Callis workshop with Robert Picault. He founded his own workshop in 1952 and sold his collections, notably in the United States at the Saks Fifth Avenue department store. He received awards at numerous international exhibitions in Milan, Brussels, Cannes, etc. From 1963 onwards, he gradually abandoned shaped pieces for decorative tiles used in architecture: wall panels, building lobbies, shops. From the 1980s onwards, he turned to unique pieces and Raku sculptures. Bibliography: "La céramique française des années 50" by Pierre Staudenmeyer, Norma Editions.
