Note: This work is referenced under No. 468 in the Lerat archives [The representation of vegetation has been for Jacqueline Lerat a constant in his research . Since her childhood, walks with her family have taken her through the Mâconnais, the Mediterranean coast from Marseille to Hyères, the Southern Alps, the meetings of Contadour with Jean Giono take place in the foothills of the Lure mountain. La Borne is an enclave in the oak and beech forests of the Pays Fort. In Bourges, his studio and his house open onto an exuberant garden. Enamel and color were favored in a series of works from the 1970s and 80s. Flowers and leaves need color. This belies the image of a rough, dark ceramic]. F.L.
