Rut Bryk 1916-1999 Rectangular Relief circa 1960s'
About the Item
In the 1960s' Rut Bryk, already a pioneer of Finnish ceramic art, began making more simplified and modern wall relief compositions.
This piece is an enameled rectangle ceramic relief by her for Arabia and it is composed of several pieces of smaller cast, polished and glazed ceramic tiles at various dimensions, depths and surfaces glued on a painted wooden base.
She has placed in the middle of the relief two origami-like compositions of white geometrical figures, seemingly modernistic flying butterflies, to which she had a passion for. That passion she most probably got from her father, who was a known lepidopterist and an artist.
This piece exemplifies Bryk's talent of sparing use of blue color.
The relief is in beautiful condition and signed Bryk.

He was well known for his ornamental dishes that were rich, colourful and with themes from the fantasy world and fairytales, which actually fought against the idealism of the minimalistic movements in 1950s. Kaipiainen introduced ceramic beads to his art in the 60s' and the surface of the object became more important for Kaipianen´s art. This beautiful unique ceramic plate...Category

Influenced by her father, a butterfly researcher and painter, she became familiar with nature and art. As a student, she dreamed of becoming an architect, but gave up the idea because of opposition from others. She turned to graphic design, and his delicate and poetic view of the world caught the attention of the Arabia Pottery, where she joined as an artist in the Fine Arts Department in 1942. This is a small gilt block relief piece by Rut Bryk, an artist who worked for the Finnish company Arabia. In the late 50's and early 60's, she produced a series of relief works composed of tiles and blocks for walls and floors, such as city series and icons. The plate is painted with gold paint, and a rose pattern is printed on it by heat transfer. This gilded and heat-transferred rose motif seems to have been produced since 1960, and the same motif is also used on ash trays and other items. In the late 1960s, the artist moved to more abstract relief work, and this gilt and rose piece was made between 1960 and 1965. The same type of blocks are also found inlaid in the "Adam and Eve," a wall piece created by laying down blocks of various sizes, indicating that the blocks were also used in religious motifs such as Christian icons...Category
