Style and technique of artist Édouard Cazaux
Édouard Cazaux is part of the Art Déco movement. His ceramics and other works are mostly inspired by religious and mythological or profane themes. He uses color in small touches, his vases being mostly white.
The life of Édouard Cazaux
Édouard Cazaux (1889-1974), a French artist, became a key figure in French ceramics.
He was born in the Landes region, into a family of potters whose work was already recognized and appreciated regionally. During his childhood, they lived in several towns in the South-West, where they marketed their production.
He entered an apprenticeship at an early age at the Outseau factory, where he learned all about ceramics. At the age of 18, he found a job in Paris and moved there. At the same time, he met Charles Despiau during a trip. He then attended courses at the Beaux-Arts de Paris and the École de Sèvres. He works with Edmond Lachenal, who teaches him gilding on earthenware, which he puts to good use in his creations.
He then carries out several creations for public commissions and opens his own workshop in Varenne. At the same time, he exhibited his work at several Parisian venues, including the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d'Automne. On some works, he collaborates with his two brothers, also trained in pottery and ceramics. The other two Cazaux brothers set up their business in and around Biarritz, producing signed works for villas, meaning that a piece can be signed Cazaux without being by Édouard Cazaux. During the latter part of his career, he produced vases in Norton stoneware that are still highly sought-after today.
