Exposition temporaire : le Bleu à la Faïencerie de Gien

In Gien, it is used for floral decorations, historiated scenes and large-scale contemporary flat tints.
From the “Gros bleu” to the “Bleu Renaissance”, now known as Bleu de Gien, this emblematic hue has accompanied the workshop?s innovations and lent itself to the boldest experiments.
This blue has inspired artists from Adrien Thibault to Claire Basler, from Manuel Cargaleiro to Brigitte de Bazelaire. It has also shaped recent collaborations with designers such as Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, who use it as the basis for a dialogue between tradition and modernity.
Blue becomes the common thread of an artistic and technical adventure, in turn decorative, symbolic and expressive.
A medium of history and creation, blue has never ceased to renew itself at Gien.
