Large wall plate in multicoloured glazed ceramic, with its incised decoration designed by Louis Waem in the 1940s as part of the Maitrise de Nimy (1943-1950).
The Maitrise de Nimy will be a pioneering movement, Belgian avant-garde aiming to elevate ceramics to the level of art, in a production context that had been, until then, essentially industrial.
A group of young artists settled in 1943 in the buildings where the Nimy faience was made, under the direction of Raoul GODFROID, director of the Académie voor Schone Kunsten in Bergen, in consultation with his friends Jules Moreau, director of the Nimy faience.
A group of eight young artists:
- Fernande Massart,
- Georges Destrebecq,
- Louis Waem,
- René Lemaigre,
- Pierre Monnaie,
- André Hupet,
- Irène Zacq
- Geneviève Noe.
The group was dissolved after the final closure of the Nimy factory in 1950.
On the plate you find different types of blue from the lightest to the darkest, from sand to gold, and almond green.
