Antoine de Vinck, Baron (16 April 1924 Kortenaken, Belgium - 13 May 1992 Auxerre, France), was a Belgian ceramist, designer and sculptor. == Biography == After finishing a course in philosophy and theology, Antoine de Vinck took up art in 1948 mainly concentrating on drawing, book illustration, and wood carving. Thanks to A Potter’s Book by Bernard Leach, he and a friend, Guy de Sauvage, taught themselves ceramics and built a wood-fired kiln. In 1951 and 1952, he attended the workshops of the ceramist Pierre Caille and the sculptor Oscar Jespers in La Cambre School (Ecole nationale supérieure d’architecture et des arts décoratifs) in Brussels . He then travelled through France, meeting potters Jean and Jacqueline Lerat in La Borne, Norbert and Jeannette Pierlot in Ratilly and Daniel de Montmollin in Taizé. In 1954, he started his own studio in Kraainem near Brussels, where he built his second wood-fired kiln. After meeting Barnard Leach, he undertook to translate his book into French. For the Universal Exhibition held in Brussels in 1958, he designed, in close collaboration with his sculptor friend Jean-Paul Edmonds-Alt, a large ceramics mural for the pavilion of the Congo Mines’ Union. From 1960 to 1975, in addition to his work as ceramics sculptor, de Vinck did industrial design and got involved in the World Crafts Council (WCC). He applied this experience in design to a part of his ceramics production, making dishes, vases, wash-basins, ashtrays, etc. His sculpture Arbre (Tree) was awarded a prize at the international ceramics competition of Faenza. In 1984 he settled near Treigny, in Burgundy, France. There he took part in the activities and exhibitions of the APCP (The Association of artist potters of Puisaye). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antoine de Vinck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
