Biography:
Pierre Paulus (Châtelet 1881 - Brussels 1959) was first and foremost a great Belgian expressionist painter known as Baron Pierre Paulus de Châtelet. After the death of his brother and ceramist Eugène, he designed and painted vases with Art Deco decorations and African shapes, but he did not turn them, leaving the exceptional Bouffioulx turners (such as Edgard Aubry, "the king of turners") to work in his place. He also produced in the kilns of the Bischoffsheim school in Brussels, where he taught painting, drawing and ceramics.
He took part in numerous exhibitions and was awarded the Grand Prix de l'Exposition for his ceramics at the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 1937.
In 1939, he exhibited in the United States and in 1948 at the Contemporary Belgian Ceramics Exhibition.
Rare works in private and family collections and in some Belgian museums.
