As we all know, Fulcanelli’s view is not shared by the art world. The art world is almost totally unconcerned with ceramic artists, ceramic history and ceramic work. The works of Piccolpasso, Bernard Palissy, or Josiah Wedgwood are of no consequence in the history of art as we know it today. Artists working after the late eighteenth cen­tu­ry in ceramics are per definition excluded from this history.
