"Wolf and Sheep, " Unique, Whimsical Art Deco Tile by I.C.S., Possibly Gambone
About the Item
Entitled "Lupus et Ovis," Latin for "Wolf and Sheep," this brilliant tile depicts a rather ravenous-looking wolf side-by-side with a sheep along a stream, glazed in rich tones of azure, honey-yellow and brown. It was produced by the famed Industria Ceramica Salernitana or I.C.S., the most important of several pre-war ceramic art studios in Campania, founded in 1927 by Max Malamerson, a German artist. Located in Vietri Sul Mar, I.C.S. promulgated a new form of ceramic art that brought together folk themes with modern art, much as Picasso did two decades later in Vallauris, France. I.C.S. exhibited its ceramics at the II Salernitana d'Arte exhibition in 1933. By 1935, Guido Gambone was the firm's artistic director, so Gambone may have designed and glazed this tile.
