POUCHAIN Jacques

At the end of the 1940s, Jacques Pouchain left Paris and interrupted his training as an architect to devote himself to art in the south of France. He set up a ceramics workshop in Dieulefit where he created a personal work and a utilitarian production. His practice of a white enamel placed on a manganese oxide that is enhanced by an engraved decoration is quite close to the Anglo-Saxon practices of the 1950s. In the 1960s, he approached abstraction before developing, in the 1970s, the theme of femininity and fertility.
