"Moroccan Agadir Bazaar, " Unique Midcentury Bowl by Waylande Gregory
About the Item
One of the most colorful and atmospheric pieces ever created by master sculptor and ceramicist Waylande Gregory, this glazed, shallow bowl shows a turbaned figure in the foreground, pouring from a ewer, surrounded by a line of white-robed figures. The scene is the great Bazaar in Agadir along the Atlantic coast in Morocco, usually referred to as the Souk El Had d'Agadir. Prodigious and indefatigable, Gregory produced a wide range of sculptures and wares in ceramic beginning in his college days, through his years working with Lorado Taft and later when he created large multi-figure pieces for WPA projects, institutions and public parks. He also produced a famous fountain group for the 1939-1940 World's Fair in New York.
