Ceramic dish by Georges Destrebecq (1925-1984), mid-20th century. The mastery of nimy (1943-1950) is a movement made up of eight artists of which georges destrebecq is a member, as well as fernande massart, louis waem, rené lemaigre, pierre currency, andré hupet, irène zacq and geneviève noe. Pioneers in the desire to place ceramics at the rank of art, and the rise of the unique piece, in reaction to industrialization. Unique decorations based on a variation on the same theme in terms of technique and background form. A research work on the material, the shape and the pioneering decor of the 50s. Diameter 20 cm. Decorations made sometimes by a composition of different scroll friezes of sgraffito (recessed hollow in the mass) and sometimes by enamel applied with a brush. Enamels in earth colors, red tones, as well as gold highlights. White earth clay ceramic. Good general condition, see photos. Very few chips, no losses. Some lack of gilding. Signed on the heel. Height 4 X diameter 20 for the small one.
