Grand vase en grès à décor africain, attribué à Roger Guérin

Une femme se tient debout au centre du décor, pilon serré entre les mains au-dessus d'un mortier quadrillé de bleu, un collier au cou, de grands anneaux aux oreilles, la tête prise dans une coiffe travaillée. Autour d'elle montent des palmes et des tiges, cernées d'un trait incisé qui fait saillir chaque forme. Les émaux vont du sable à l'olive, du brun au bleu profond, et se fondent en coulures sur le col évasé. Une lèvre noire et une base annelée, noire elle aussi, encadrent ce fût élancé.

La galerie attribue ce vase à Roger Guérin, né à Jumet en 1896 et mort à Bouffioulx en 1954. Formé à Charleroi auprès de Willem Delsaux, dans sa poterie L'Escarboucle, il fait du grès émaillé au sel, cuit à haute température, sa matière, et connaît le succès dès 1919. Une médaille d'argent le distingue à l'Exposition de Paris de 1925 ; à partir de 1932, il enseigne à La Cambre. Ses pièces sont signées R. Guerin ou Guérin, ou marquées Grès Guérin Bouffioulx. Sous la base, une signature incisée se lit Guerin, suivie d'une inscription en partie illisible ; aucune source consultée ne documente chez lui de décor africain.

Read in English

A woman stands at the centre of the decoration, a pestle gripped in both hands above a mortar latticed in blue, a necklace at her throat, large rings in her ears, her head bound in an elaborate headdress. Around her rise palms and stems, outlined by an incised line that makes each form stand proud. The glazes range from sand to olive, from brown to deep blue, and melt into runs across the flared neck. A black lip and a ringed black base frame the slender body.

The gallery attributes this vase to Roger Guérin, born in Jumet in 1896, died in Bouffioulx in 1954. Trained in Charleroi under Willem Delsaux, in his L'Escarboucle pottery, he made salt-glazed stoneware fired at high temperature his material and found success from 1919. A silver medal distinguished him at the Paris Exposition of 1925; from 1932 he taught at La Cambre. His pieces are signed R. Guerin or Guérin, or marked Grès Guérin Bouffioulx. Beneath the base, an incised signature reads Guerin, followed by a partly illegible inscription; no source consulted records an African decoration in his work.
