    Born in Meudon in 1910, renowned French ceramist Guidette Carbonell studied with Cubist painter André Lhote and continued her training with the Fauvist artist Othon Friesz. After sharing a studio with Josep Llorens Artigas (who later collaborated with Joan Miró on large-scale ceramic murals), Carbonell turned towards clay. Marked by exuberant forms, Carbonell’s work comprises ceramic objects, reliefs, murals, and notably a menagerie of fanciful animals. She exhibited from an early age at the Salon d’Automne and at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs. In 1957 she was appointed one of the first Chevaliers des Arts et des Lettres.
