History:
Spurred on by Ambroise Vollard, an advocate of the Fauvist painters, the so-called Fauvist ceramics was born in 1906 in the studio of André Metthey, the year after the 1905 Salon d'Automne, during which an unknown art critic would give his name to the movement, a term later taken up and immortalized by Louis Vauxcelles. What will be called the School of Asnières, small city where lived and worked the ceramist, will gather, around André Metthey, the best artists of the moment, André Derain, Georges Rouault, Maurice de Vlaminck, Henri Matisse, Louis Valtat, Kees van Dongen, Achille-Emile Othon Friesz, etc. and of course Jean Puy.
The 1907 Salon d'automne will mark the history of fauve ceramics with the 108 pieces that André Metthey will choose to exhibit, all of them collaborative works with the painters of the movement, our dish was possibly from this shipment.
Unfortunately, Ambroise Vollard never managed to market these paintings on earthenware. Too few collectors took the decision to acquire these works, so the adventure was short-lived and very few ceramics came out of André Metthey's kiln. He soon turned to the stoneware pottery that would make him famous.
