Lot 2 Formé à l'art du verre et de la céramique dans l'atelier de son père, Jean Luce expose ses premières réalisations dès 1911, à l'âge de 17 ans. Très architecturées, ses créations révèlent les influences du Cubisme, des arts primitifs et d'une abstraction liée à l'ère de la mécanisation. Respecté par les tenants de l'avant-garde moderniste, Luce compte parmi ses collaborateurs Jean Puiforcat, Charlotte Perriand ou encore René Herbst. Il créera les services de table du paquebot Normandie en 1935 et devient membre de l'UAM en 1937.
Trained as a ceramist and glassmaker at his father's studio, Jean Luce exhibited his own designs for the first time in 1911, at the age of seventeen. Broadly architectural in form, the treatments that Luce applied to the surfaces of his vessels incorporated a fusion of influences that included Cubism, Primitivism, and geometric machine-like abstraction. Well-respected amongst the Modernist avant-garde, Luce counted Jean Puiforcat, Charlotte Perriand and René Herbst amongst his collaborators, and in 1935 was commissioned to create the tableware for the 'Normandy' ocean liner, becoming a member of the UAM in 1937.
