Signed below capron vallauris. Roger capron, born in vincennes on september 4, 1922 and died on november 8, 2006, is a french ceramicist. Initially interested in drawing, roger capron was a student of the school of applied arts on rue dupetit-thouars in paris from 1938 to 1943 before teaching drawing there from 1945. The discovery of ceramics led him to change his support: on february 6, 1946, he moved to vallauris, where he created a ceramic workshop, callis. In doing so, he teamed up with robert picault and jean derval in 1948, thus participating in the revival of ceramics in vallauris where he implemented the motto of his master, rené gabriel, "to make beautiful within the reach of all" In 1952, capron bought a disused pottery from vallauris (formerly the culinary pottery factory of the font des horts) and, with seven workers, made objects for gift shops as well as decorative panels (from 1955, he began production of earthenware tiles and tables). Also in 1955, capron married jacqueline hubin, known as "jacotte", who became his collaborator. His creations were recognized and rewarded: gold medal at the 10th triennale in milan in 1954, silver medal at the international exhibition in cannes in 1955 (the city commissioned him for 1956 with a 150 m2 ceramic headband for the ferry station), in brussels in 1959. In 1950, he rubbed shoulders with pablo picasso, who did not hesitate to support him at the time of the controversy over the fresco of the cannes ferry terminal. From 1962 began a collaboration between capron and jean-michel carré. They exhibited side by side at building in 1963. The architect philippe sicardon, carré's brother-in-law, entrusted capron with the creation of ceramic decorations that adorn the byblos hotel in saint-tropez (opened in 1967)3. This forces him to take an interest in a new material, the large fire sandstone, able to withstand the demands of the dance floor4. This project will also have an impact on the company. 1968 sees a new collaboration between capron and derval. Capron was awarded the international grand prize for ceramics in 1970.
