"Gray Swan, " Iconic Art Deco Sculpture by Waylande Gregory
About the Item
One of Waylande Gregory's most dynamic and winning sculptures, this example glazed in a velvety grey flannel color, the swan is shown from two sides, with its lovely taupe wings on full display. Like most of his animal sculptures, this one displays the artist's virtuoso Sgraffito effect, where he scratched through one layer of glaze to reveal another layer below. Gregory was a renowned a WPA sculpture and innovative ceramicist and 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. A major retrospective of Gregory's work was recently organized by the University of Richmond's Museums.
