Height : 43 cm. Diameter : 54 cm Joseph Mougin was a French ceramist and sculptor who lived from 1876 to 1961. He is best known for his work during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. Mougin collaborated closely with his brother Pierre Mougin (1880-1955), and together they formed a renowned duo of ceramists and sculptors known as the "Mougin brothers" or frères Mougin. Mougin was born on June 8, 1876 in Nancy, France. He received his artistic training at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Nancy and Paris. After completing his studies, he worked in Paris and Sèvres before finally settling in Nancy. Joseph Mougin's passion for ceramics was influenced by his family background in the glass industry. His father, Xavier Mougin, was the director of the Portieux glassworks. However, Joseph was captivated by the art of ceramics and made it his primary means of expression. Mougin's work is characterized by his fascination with science, horticulture and marine biology. These interests often influenced the themes and motifs he incorporated into his ceramic creations. His style evolved from Art Nouveau to Art Deco, reflecting the changing artistic trends of the time. After the First World War, Joseph and Pierre Mougin faced financial difficulties and were unable to maintain their own workshop. In 1923, they signed a collaboration contract with the Lunéville faience manufacturer Keller et Guérin. However, Joseph left the factory in 1933 and ended his collaboration with Pierre. Joseph Mougin died on November 8, 1961 in Nancy, where he was born and spent most of his life.
