André Aleth-Masson, born in 1919 in Rennes and passed away in 2009, was a multifaceted French artist: ceramist, sculptor, painter, and printmaker. After studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Rennes and later in Paris, he honed his skills in ceramics in 1947 at the École de céramique de Fontcarrade, near Montpellier. He moved to Paris in the early 1950s, where he began his artistic career with several solo exhibitions, notably at Galerie MAI in 1952, 1955, and 1961. From 1952 onwards, he became an active member of the Société des Artistes Décorateurs, regularly participating in their salons and establishing himself as a key figure in the revival of ceramics in France. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, he created monumental works as part of the French 1% for art public commissions and was closely associated with the “Mur Vivant” movement, which explored large-scale ceramic installations and the integration of art into architecture. Over time, his artistic focus expanded, and in the 1980s he turned to painting and painted cut-out wood panels. From the 1990s, he dedicated himself to printmaking and acrylic painting on canvas, revealing a vibrant and poetic universe. The work of André Aleth-Masson, at the crossroads of fine art and craftsmanship, is celebrated today for its inventiveness, modernity, and significant contribution to the history of 20th-century decorative arts.
