Umbero Del Negro"Volti (Faces)", Colorful Ceramic Pottery Charger, Psychological Nature Work1978
1978
About the Item
"Volti", Italian for the word "faces", is a playful ceramic pottery charger that makes an exquisite table piece or decorative object to hang for any home due to it colorful and naturalistic depiction of a face. The piece marries Umberto Del Negro's interest in the natural world and society by creating what a first glance might be a leaf, lily pad, or some other bit of plant on the ground but on a second glance reveals that our brains can quite easily see a face embedded there as well.
Umberto Del Negro was a late 20th Century Italian artist. He was born in 1940. His artwork encompasses multiple mediums from mosaic, sculptures, and paintings. His work's subject matter spans an interest in the natural world and society's relationship to it, themes that he explores through his creative usage of each individual work's medium. The artist passed away in 2017.

Walter Midener "Contemplation" Seated Figure Clay Sculpture Mid-Century Modern
Located in Detroit, MI
“Contemplation” is an abstract clay sculpture of a female. The figure has both arms and legs extended, but the dignified pose suggests an intimate rather than a sexual moment. The sculpture is delicately rendered, but monumental in pose and clean composition reminiscent of the English artist Henry Moore. The surface is warm and slightly rough to the touch. This sculpture is in the round and beautifully balanced geometrically with the hands clasped behind the head forming a slightly flattened polygon shape that is echoed in the positioning of the legs and draped fabric of a presumed dress. The figure draws the viewer into her contemplation, peace and confidence. An exceptional piece by Midener.
