Marc Ducret – “Ernest Chaplet – The Revolution of Copper Red”, Louvre Victoire editions, Paris, 2021.
The ceramic arts provide a variety of answers to creative desires. Faience, stoneware, and porcelain lend their organic complexity to various inquiries. To learn one is to approach the other; to understand both is to embrace the latter; thus was the life of Ernest Chaplet (1835-1909) fulfilled, whose monograph has just been published.
Marc Ducret recounts the journey of a rare individual, a remarkable ceramist, allowing us to witness the slow metamorphosis of a flower painter on porcelain into one of Art Nouveau’s major creators.
