Art Deco Craquelé – Crackled Groupe d’antilope by Charles Lemanceau.
While other fine representatives of the French Art Deco movement were concentrating their efforts on producing more utilitarian and geometrically rigid creations, there was a sculptor among them who applied its principles in creating a world of his own that sought to combine his appreciation for nature and form into tasteful, purely decorative pieces which would enrich the homes that proudly displayed them.
Lemanceaou’s animal sculptures are his most widespread work. He painstakingly tried to preserve the various animals’ fluidity of motion and proportions while also reducing their inherent complexity to something more in line with what other Art Deco ceramics were trying to accomplish. His medium of choice was crackle-glazed ceramic, which enhanced their texturing and overall aesthetic appeal.
