Joseph Chéret
Gustave Joseph Chéret (* 1838 in Paris ; † June 15, 1894 ibid) was a French sculptor and ceramic artist of historicism .
Joseph Chéret was the younger brother of the painter and lithographer Jules Chéret (1836–1932). He was a student of Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse , a sculptor and artistic director of the Manufacture royale de porcelaine de Sèvres in Sèvres . Chéret created porcelain and ceramic designs for numerous manufacturers. He worked for the Cologne furniture manufacturer Pallemberg, famous at the end of the 19th century, and for the Orfèrie Christofle in Paris ("coffee pot and milk jug" in the style of Louis Seize ).
From 1877 he supplied artistic designs for the Cristallerie de Baccarat ( Département Meurthe-et-Moselle ). After Carrier-Belleuse's death, he was artistic director of the porcelain factory in Sèvres from 1886 to 1887. Henry van de Velde criticized his designs as an elitist, bougeois attempt to combine art and craft instead of creating art for normal people. Chéret had been married to Carrier-Belleuse's daughter Henriette, a flower painter, since 1868, and his brother-in-law Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse was also a painter.
On March 26, 2017, an episode of the NDR's Lieb & Teuer program was broadcast, moderated by Janin Ullmann and filmed in Schloss Reinbek . Among other things, a group of figures made of terracotta that was designed by Joseph Chéret was discussed with the art historian Wilhelm Hornbostel .
