Catalogue Note
Fils du célèbre joailler Art Nouveau Georges Fouquet, Jean Fouquet rejoint la maison familiale en 1910. Proche de Louis Aragon et Paul Eluard et fortement marqué par les avant-gardes de son époque, il fait partie des membres fondateurs de l’UAM en 1930. Ses créations aux formes épurées et aux lignes géométriques s’inspirent de l’esthétique industrielle et mêlent des matériaux novateurs pour la joaillerie comme l’ébène ou l’acier.
