Pol Chambost
Vase, 1960
Silver Black Enamelled Ceramic.
Signed Poterie, Pol Chambost, Made in France.
Height : 28 cm
Diameter : 22 cm
Provenance:
Private collection, Paris, France.
On completion of his studies at the School of Applied Arts, Pol Chambost (1906-1983) began his career working for his father's marble factory at Ivry-sur-Seine, while also taking on the family tradition as a funerary sculptor.
By the end of the 1930s Chambost was not only experimenting with but achieved mastery of the ceramic medium to which he based his first solo studio around. Indefatigable in his method, Chambost was at one point producing up to 70 pieces during his first six months, partially down to his own prolific work ethic, but also his pioneering use of the modern equipment which allowed him to sell in greater quantities, especially in the United States.
Aside from his personal pursuits, Chambost was dedicated member of the Chambre Syndicale des Seramistes d'Art and spent much of his time drawing together and facilitating like-minded artists and craftsman.
Toward the end of his career Chambost, then living in Paris, longed for nature and retired to the countryside Ivry-sur-Seine where he still remains the focus of public artistic interest.
