About the Item

Small Amphora is an original modern artwork realized in the first half of the XX Century by the French artist Gabriel Fourmaintraux (Desvres, 1886 - 1984). Original ink and watercolor on paper. Very good conditions. Beautiful drawing realized in china ink and watercolor made by one of the most important ceramists of the XX Century in France. The work is basically a sketch of two furure artifacts, a small Chinese style amphora with a cover. This work has been realized by the French artist Gabriel Fourmaintraux (Desvres, 1886 - 1984). Gabriel Emile Georges Alexandre Fourmaintraux was a member of a noted family of French ceramicists. His father was Emile Fourmaintraux (1857-1929) and his mother was Elisa Moison (1863-1930). He married Marguerite (known as Margo) and was the father of glass artist Pierre Fourmaintraux and ceramicist Claude Fourmaintraux. He studied ceramics at the Graduate School of Ceramics in Sèvres and graduated "Major" in his class. He was active from 1905 until he retired in 1982. The Fourmaintraux family's ceramics business can trace its origins to when in 1804, François-Joseph Fourmaintraux, a former worker at Sta, founded his own factory. The ceramicist Camille Fourmaintraux, is the 10th generation of his family working in ceramics. Historically, the family's name can sometimes be found spelt "Fourmentraux".
