ALETH-MASSON André

Ceramicist, sculptor, painter and engraver, André Aleth-Masson studied at the École des beaux-arts in Rennes, then in Paris. In 1947, he joined the École de céramique de Fontcarrade near Montpellier. His beginnings in Paris in the 1950s gave rise to three solo exhibitions at the MAI gallery in 1952, 1955 and 1961. From 1952, André Aleth-Masson’s successive participations in the salons of the Société des Artistes Décorateurs, of which he was a member until 1980, and exhibitions of large-scale ceramic works through the “Living Wall” movement, or as part of the 1% commissions in the 1960s and 1970s, gave way to the colorist painter in the 1980s: painted ceramics, painted cut-out wood, acrylic canvases and engravings from 1990.
