Mathurin MEHEUT (Lamballe, 1882 - Paris, 1958), Marine painter in 1923, for VILLEROY & BOCH in Mettlach. La basse-cour, 1950. Model in white earthenware covered with translucent blue enamel. Signed "MM" and dated 1950. Located in Mettlach and double-signed "VIL & BOCH". Height: 17.5 cm. Length: 23.5 cm. Width: 12 cm (Misses and restorations, firing cracks). In addition to his collaborations with the Henriot and Sèvres factories, Mathurin Méheut also worked closely for the Villeroy & Boch factory in Mettlach (Saarland), starting in the 1930s with the famous service for the Prunier restaurant in Paris. He returned in 1949, after the war, and visited the factory, praising its operation: "How easy it is to work here, how welcoming it is, from the little workers to the paint shop managers". The comparison with French factories is not eulogistic: "Poor guys, these French ceramists, when you see here what they produce. [...] Quimper, Limoges, andouilles." (Letter to Yvonne Jean-Haffen, August 24, 1950). So it was at Villeroy et Boch, in 1950, that Méheut created our work. It's typical of a theme the artist is particularly fond of: farm animals. Here, "he exceptionally mixes people and animals": the barnyard crowds around our farmer to beg for their pittance: from the noble peacock to the piglet, guinea fowl, rabbits, ducks and the rooster.
