Notes: |
Jean Baptiste Gaziello (1876-1966) was an artist for Clement Massier’s ceramic workshop until 1905 when he started his own studio in Vallauris working in the metallic luster glazes of the Massiers.
Symbolism in Art Nouveau decorative arts alluded to mystery and beauty with dream like imagery. Allegory, spirituality and mythology were expressed with images such as ethereal nymphs, sensual flowers, bats and dragonflies representing innocence, vulnerability, decadence, and temptation.
