Louis Giraud

Born in 1897, Louis Giraud was a painter and ceramist in Vallauris, where he ran an art pottery making Art Deco vases and utilitarian ceramics. He worked alongside Pyot Thiry, René Maurel and Alexandre Kostanda, and left a rich and varied body of work when he died in 1985. Ceramics was a family affair: Marcel Giraud is also a renowned ceramist.
