Edgard Aubry

(Châtelet 1880 - Bouffioulx 1943)

To collect Edgard Aubry is to collect a universe: the opulence of colour and texture in his glazes makes every piece a fascinating landscape – his greens now moss and pine, then watery iridescent; a whole range of earth tones; the yellow of desert sand and the brown-orange of rust and amber; all sorts of pebble and slate gray; the dark blue of night skies and deep water; and then that fascinating tinge of pink … His pieces do not have that smooth commercial perfection seen in some Guerin items. They are the characteristic produce of Edgard Aubry’s uncompromising artistry.
