"Miroir Soleil" , mirror by Atelier Line Vautrin, A.D.A.M.
"Miroir Soleil", pink glass, talosel, resin and copper mirror by Atelier Line Vautrin, A.D.A.M. (Association pour le Développement des Arts Manuels). France, c. 1970 From 1967 to 1972 , Line Vautrin founded and directed an art school to pass on her know-how and artisanal technics. The school was located at 29 quai des Grands Augustins in Paris and was called L'ADAM ( association-developement-arts manuels). The artist called on her best worker for many years, Thérèse Patchayan, as well as her daughter Marie-Laure, who will teach her mother's know-how in France and around the world. Line Vautrin teaches the cutting of talosel plates, pattern cutting, modeling, gluing, coating, and hot inlays of all kinds. The objects were of all shapes, the mirrors, oxidized, sometimes crackled. Line Vautrin has always claimed to be an artisan, and teaches both peers established in the profession, keen to improve their techniques, and young aspiring artists wishing to learn from this important creator. Never interrupting her research on shapes and materials, she patented a process: “pellimorphoses”. This technique was later defined as “expansions of coloured plastics caught between two transparent surfaces”. This synthetic material was encrusted with small pieces of coloured mirrors.

Max Ingrand was born in France in 1908. He studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratfis in Paris and later apprenticed with the legendary master of Art Nouveau glass Jacques Gruber. Afterwards he began his own art glass studio with his wife Paule, which quickly brought them international renown. He was selected by Gio Ponti to head Fontana Arte in 1954 following the death of Pietro Chiesa, where he presided over a period of growth and innovation, creating many iconic Fontana Arte designs, some of which are still in production today. During this period he also continued to work with his own studio in Paris and was the president of the Société des Artistes Décorateurs. He died suddenly of influenza in 1969, at which point the directorship of Fontana Arte went briefly to Gio Ponti.
