Juliette Derel (1918 - 2007)
French ceramist born in Normandy, Juliette Derel studied at the Beaux-Arts in Tours. At the beginning of the 1950s, she settled in Vallauris and married Jean Rivier. They worked together until their separation in 1961. Vallauris was then a mecca for art and ceramics, where she met Picasso and her nephew Javier Vilato. Her work is prolific: creator of utilitarian pieces (mirrors, dishes, vases), she is moving more and more towards sculptural works, such as these candlesticks or coat racks on metal frames.
