Bibliography
“Je dois mentionner aussi, dans le domaine du grès, les pièces flambées du malheureux Voisin-Delacroix, mort depuis peu, en collaboration avec M. Adrien Dalpayrat. On ne peut reprocher à cette production que certaines bizarreries de modelage, des amalgames de formes animales ou de formes humaines, et de masses plus ou moins confuses pétries au hasard. On ne me fera point admirer tels petits vases embasés en ergots de coq, ou tels objets indéterminés tenus par une main de femme. Ne m’objectez pas que l’étude de la matière prime ici le sujet plastique. La recherche du potier en face de son four ne s’accomode d’aucun manque de goût. Je formule, d’ailleurs, cette réserve d’autant plus nettement que plusieurs morceaux de Voisin-Delacroix et de M. Dalpayrat sont d’une grande valeur”.

“Je remarque les émaux cloisonnés de M. Paul Louchet, ainsi que le cadre contenant des dessins d’Albert Louchet, son frère. Je n’insiste pas, ce n’est pas tout à fait de ma compétence ; on me dit d’ailleurs que ces jolis cloisonnés ont été exécutés au Japon même ; leur perfection s’explique alors plus facilement et aussi leur aspect un peu “porcelaine”, ce qui est une des caractéristiques des artistes modernes du Nippon.” Revue de la Bijouterie, Joaillerie et Orfèvrerie, n. 40, August 1903, page 96
