Stan Bitters Signed Large Mid-Century Modern Ceramic Pottery Haniwa Sculpture
About the Item
A wonderful, unique, beautifully glazed, quite rare, and special double-faced "Haniwa" pottery sculpture by American California studio pottery master ceramists Stan Bitters whose work was instrumental in shaping the organic modernist movement in the 1960s.
Bitters received his Bachelor of Arts degree in painting from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1958.
He also studied under Peter Voulkos at Otis College. After graduating, he worked for Hans Sumpf as the company's resident artist. During this time he created architectural murals, tiles, birdhouses, planters, and sculptural objects – designs that would earn him recognition later on as a pioneer of the organic modernist craft movement - many still some of the most iconic designs today.
Stan Bitters' work was featured as a part of the prestigious California Design series of exhibitions and annuals that chronicled art and design in California from 1954-1976. His works were also featured as part of a group show entitled Golden State of Craft 1960-1985 at the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles, CA. This show was part of Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980, an unprecedented collaboration of more than 60 museums and other cultural institutions in Southern California, celebrating the birth of the Los Angeles art scene. Bitters' work was also exhibited at Heath Ceramics' Boiler Room in San Francisco in 2014. Today his work can be found in numerous international collections and museums.
The Haniwa Sculpture is signed by Bitters on the base.
Again a very rare and hard-to-find work. Relatively large and heavy. This piece makes you feel joy and pleasure just by looking at it. Would be a great addition to any collectors of Bitter's work or Mid-Century Modern pottery or an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting.
Dimensions: 12" high, 7" wide, 7" deep.
