NOTICE
Jean Marais, famous French actor and artist, also distinguished himself in the art of ceramics, developing a rich and varied personal artistic output. In the 1970s, Marais devoted himself intensely to ceramics, creating pieces that reflected his love of mythology, fantastical forms and decorative art. His ceramics, often in earthenware, are characterized by organic forms and sculptural motifs, with raised details that bring his mythological and animal inspirations to life.
Marais' works include vases, bowls, figurines and masks, always marked by a singular expressiveness and a touch of theatricality reminiscent of his work on stage. His pieces, with their curved lines and vibrant colors, express a sense of movement and dynamism. Influenced by ceramists such as Georges Jouve and Jean Cocteau, Marais has established a unique style that is both poetic and daring.
Today, Jean Marais ceramics are sought after for their originality and distinctive artistic approach, embodying a little-known but exciting facet of this multidisciplinary artist.
