"Noah's Ark" Enamel Bowl, Masterpiece of Mid Century Artistry by Drerup
About the Item
In our opinion, the finest and most delightful of Karl Drerup's enamel works from the post-World War II period, this footed bowl depicts Noah and his ark, teaming with a veritable forest-full of animals, all rendered in rich, jewel-like tones. In only a ten-inch space, Drerup manages to fit in a giraffe, lion, bear, hippopotamus, squirrel, fox, camel, deer and goat, each with its own delightful personality. Drerup immigrated to America from Germany in 1937, his anti-Nazi activism and his wife's Jewish heritage forcing them to leave Germany. In his early years in America, he worked in ceramics with Franz Joseph Von Tury, but later he focused on enamel painting, prompted in part by a conversation with Tommi Parzinger, who noted that no one was creating fine enamels in New York. Drerup moved to New Hampshire in the 1940s and there he created a stream of brilliantly-hued scenes of stylized animals and humans, often in mythological or fantastical scenes. This bowl features Drerup's monogram on the front and back.
