Jean Derval, born on March 2, 1925 in Châtillon-sur-Indre in the Berry and died on February 19, 2010 in Antibes[1], is a French ceramist.
Jean Derval first received an artistic education as a graphic designer and poster artist at the School of Applied Arts in rue Dupetit-Thouars in Paris. His vocation for ceramics comes to him by chance by creating stoneware services for the goldsmith’s house Christofle.
In 1947, Jean Derval joined his comrades Robert Picault and Roger Capron at Vallauris where they had set up a pottery workshop the previous year. The elegant world of amateurs and artists is found at this time on the Côte d'Azur around Picasso. Jean Derval entered the famous Madoura workshop in 1949, where he worked alongside the Andalusian master for two years.
In 1951, he founded his own establishment, Le Portail. Instead of creating a real factory, he chose the difficult path of "unique pieces".
Derval offers a repertoire of domestic pottery, essentially of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic inspiration, reinterpreted from the lessons of cubism and abstraction. His Christian fervour also leads him to deal with religious subjects such as representations of the Virgin and saints. Finally, its Mediterranean roots leave an important place to the mythology of ancient Greece.
The end of the 1960s is marked by an evolution in taste towards stoneware with austere hues, at the expense of the colorful tiles favored by Jean Derval. He then turned towards architectural ceramics with a vision of sculptor rather than potter.
