JEAN GOULDEN Jean Goulden, doctor of medicine, was a decorative artist, more particularly known for his magnificent glazes.
He married Sybille Bullock-Hall, then, in 1925, Dolly Schmied, daughter of the artist François-Louis Schmied (1873-1941) with whom he collaborated. He was also one of Jean Dunand's collaborators.
It was during the First World War that Jean Goulden discovered Byzantine enamels in the monks of Mount Athos during his convalescence following a depression suffered after the Dardanelles campaign. Upon his return to France, he turned to F.-L. Schmied to publish at his own expense, the series of landscapes he had brought back from the war, under the title "Salonika, Macedonia, Mount Athos". He then abandoned medicine, and thanks to his personal fortune, became a patron of the Dunand-Goulden-Jouve-Schmied Group.
Entering the Schmied-Dunand workshop, he chose to explore the techniques of cloisonné and champlevé enamel, encouraged in this way by Jean Dunand. The Dunand-Schmied teams and their employees will then move into a complex of buildings (located at 14 and 14 bis, rue Hallé, Paris 14e) owned by her sister, Mme Métetal. J. Goulden's works are rare. The number of boxes he executed between 1923 and 1933 is estimated at about 90. As for the objects, produced over an even shorter period, 1926-1930, there are about twenty of them, most of them for his personal use or offered to his wife Dolly.
