Boch Frères La Louvière - The Auction Hall Plate n°11 from the "Les Halles" Series
"Les Halles" Series — Boch Frères La Louvière
These plates tell the story of an era.
That of the former Halles de Paris, the beating heart of the city, where goods, voices, and gestures intermingled.
Produced by Boch Frères La Louvière in the mid-20th century, they capture simple and universal scenes of life.
Each piece is an image, but also a story.
A moment of daily life transformed into memory.
In the spirit of Atelier HaruFuyu, these objects find a new resonance:
that of a careful gaze fixed upon ordinary gestures,
and the discreet beauty of the everyday.
Description
An earthenware plate illustrating the workers of Les Halles, carrying goods and baskets in a bustling street scene.
The drawing, fine and expressive, pays tribute to these anonymous figures who brought the market to life.
Context
The "Les Halles" series captures the human and social dimension of the Parisian market, reaching beyond simple commerce.
History – Atelier HaruFuyu
They move slowly, burdened by what the city forgets.
Their fatigue is not seen, yet it feeds the world.
In their steps, there is the weight of days
and a silent dignity.
