CAPRON Roger (1922-2006)
Professor at the School of Applied Arts, Capron was initially interested in drawing. He discovered ceramics in Vallauris before Picasso and founded the Callis workshop with Robert Picault. He established 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, and elsewhere. From 1963 onwards, he gradually abandoned shaped pieces in favor of decorative tiles used in architecture: wall panels, building lobbies, and 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.
