"Living forms": a magnificent dialogue between ceramics and nature
- The exhibition "Living Forms" questions our relationship with the world of life
- "Living Forms" shows how the art of ceramics, from the Renaissance to the present day, is interested in the representation of living things, both plant and animal.
- The exhibition is organized into three thematic sections - Naturalisms, Organic Imaginations and Inside the Living
- These are the specific links that have united ceramics, a mineral and therefore inanimate material, to the world of the living for more than six centuries, which are explored here
- One can admire extraordinary dishes decorated with animals, Sèvres porcelain plates decorated with birds, Art Nouveau vases inspired by the plant world, contemporary works or 3D printed biomedical pieces
- All these works remind us how much the living world is a source of inspiration for the art of ceramics, whatever the era
