Revue des Arts Décoratifs, 1897, p. 155 : the cup
Revue des Arts Décoratifs, 1901, p. 280. “L’exposition de M. Brateau mérite l’attention. On connait M. Brateau. Serf industriel, il a dû longtemps travailler dans les styles passés pour le plus grand profit de ses employeurs. Vient la création d’une section d’objets d’art, l’artiste qui est en lui se réveille, s’affirme.
Un des premiers il s’intéresse à l’étain. Mais l’empreinte des années de servage l’empêche tout d’abord d’être franchement moderniste. Cependant chaque œuvre nouvelle marque un progrès : défaite pour le passé, retour plus accentué à la nature. Cette année, et ce n’est pas la première, Briot et les renaissants sont complètement oubliés par M. Brateau libéré d’un passé pesant.
Son service à bière, en étain, empruntant ses éléments décoratifs aux produits qui entrent dans la composition de la bière – le houblon et l’orge – est d’une conception aussi heureuse que naturelle tant dans la forme que dans le décor. De plus, tout est calculé pour permettre la reproduction facile : point de ces creux, de ces reliefs, subtils, étranges, qui plaisent tant aux artistes et permettent des œuvres curieuses….”.
