Robert MICHEAU-VERNEZ (1907-1989) - Lot 68
Robert MICHEAU-VERNEZ (1907-1989) Couple from Penmarc'h Polychrome glazed earthenware group Manufacture Henriot Quimper, circa 1947 Signed on the base "R. Micheau-Vernez" and on the reverse "Henriot Quimper". Minor wear. Height 37 cm x Length 25 cm x Depth 17.5 cm Created for the June 1941 edition, our pair is a slightly later print, circa 1947. It bears the handwritten date "9-2-(19)48" on the reverse, which probably corresponds to the purchase date of this piece. Robert Micheau-Vernez's unmistakable work is remarkable in that it introduces the idea of movement into sculpture, which is by definition static: the force of the wind reinforces the strength of the bond between our lovers.
