Description: In the history of French ceramics, Taxile Doat is associated with opening up the national porcelain manufactory in Sèvres to the Art Nouveau style. Doat worked at the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres from 1877 to 1905, but also established his own atelier in Paris on the side in 1892. Doat’s new ceramics, which took after natural forms and Japanese works, experienced success at the various world’s fairs around 1900 and saw use as models for training ceramicists at the Austrian trade schools. A further important representative of this school in France was Edmond Lachenal (1855–1948), of whose pieces the Viennese public got a glimpse as early as the Vienna World Exposition in 1873. In 1880, Lachenal opened his own workshop in the Paris suburb of Malakoff. Later on, starting in 1887, he worked in Châtillon-sous-Bagneux. In 1901, the museum devoted a solo exhibition to him in its Columned Main Hall at which 300 of his works were shown. (Franz, Rainald)
