Decoration of impressionist winter landscape with 5 wild boars. Impressed mark BACS, landscape monogrammed M.A. (Marius Alexander, the painter). Of the many artists who left Clément Massier’s factory to start studios of their own, perhaps the most remarkable was Jean Barol (1873-1966). Barol learned metallic luster glazing at Golfe-Juan, where he was employed at a young age. In 1911, with three other artists from the factory—Marius Alexandre, Jean Carle, and François Sicard—he founded BACS in Cannes. At BACS, Barol was the glaze artist, Alexandre the painter, Carle the decorator, and Sicard the potter. A new technique was found by BACS for applying high-fired enamel “cloisonné” decoration to metallic luster-glazed vessels. The firm also became well known for the enamel-glazed, impressionist style landscape painting fired on its ceramics. In 1917 Barol left BACS along with Sicard to found Montieres, in the city of Montieres-les-Amiens, in the north of France; the company produced work similar to that of the parent company. Barol rejoined BACS three years later, in 1920, and remained until 1927, after which he continued as a ceramist in Vallauris until his death, at the ripe age of 93. Size: 17 cm high. Condition: Good. A few very small chips (0.1 - 0.2 cm) on bottom rim and one (0.1 cm) near the top rim. Place a Bid!
