Description:
|
|
Beginning in the early 1950s Chagall experimented with painted ceramics; during a decade he produced 220 ceramic works. Chagall, unlike most artists, was not content with decorating pieces made by professional potters. He himself molded his clay and created original forms. This work combines portions that are wheel-thrown and hand-built, engraved (sgraffito) with a knife and dry-point, and painted with glazes. It reveals an influence of pre-Hispanic [Pre-Columbian] ceramics, which Chagall saw in the United States and Mexico. This is probably the largest piece Chagall made in ceramics, created in the workshop of Madoura de Vallauris.
