Midcentury Brutalist Virgin Mary & Child Jesus, Handmade Studio Pottery, Europe

About the Item

Midcentury Brutalist Depiction of the Virgin Mary and Child Jesus, Handcrafted in European Studio Pottery. In this depiction, the Virgin Mary is represented as a smiling figure in black, adorned with a glossy red robe. Meanwhile, the Child Jesus is draped in white matte fabric. The wall sculpture showcases generous yet harmonious volumes, evoking a powerful sense of serenity. The Virgin Mary's smile and opened hand further contribute to the tranquil atmosphere of the composition. Our European cross collection (Tradition & Modernism) is composed of one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces made by Studio Pottery artists from the 1950s to 1970s. They show a range of diverse styles, from modernism to brutalism. Each artist has taken a unique approach to depict faith through the language of art and the medium of ceramics. This large collection offers an opportunity to curate a custom wall of modernist crucifixes, and appeals to those who appreciate the symbolism and beauty of religious artifacts.
