Bio;

Édouard Cazaux (1889-1974) was a distinguished French sculptor and ceramist, known for his significant contributions to the Art Deco movement. Born in Cauneille, France, he grew up in a family of potters and began his artistic journey at a young age. Cazaux studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and the École de Sèvres in Paris, where he honed his skills in sculpture and ceramics.

Cazaux's work is celebrated for its vibrant glazes, simple forms, and beautiful hand-painted decorations. He often incorporated themes from classical Greek sculpture, the Far East, and Primitive and African art. His pieces are displayed in prestigious museums, including the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York
