About the Item

A stunning large vase by Jan van der Vaart (1931-2000). In the mid-1970s till the early 1980s, Jan van de Vaart experimented with vases in folded shapes. This is an exceptional example in an elegant white color. Van der Vaart produced his multiples only in editions of 20. Vase, ca. 1983, signed and dated underneath Medium: ceramic Provenance: Private collection Literature: Jan Van der Vaart , Multiples 1967-1997 ,image 53 Jan van der Vaart belongs to the first generation of ceramic artists that revived the practice of ceramics in the Netherlands in the 1950s. He introduced a new vision on form and colour deriving from the Bauhaus tradition. Condition: excellent " Jan van der Vaart is considered one of the most important Dutch ceramic artists of the 20th century.] As the founder of a geometric abstract direction in postwar-ceramics he was nationally and abroad particularly influential. His work is very recognizable due to the distinctive character and the logical and consequent development of his artistic beliefs. From the beginning the work of Van der Vaart has been sleek and geometric. Purity of form and usability were important requirements for Van der Vaart, and in his work he strove to reach a perfect unity of material, form and glaze. He perceived shape as the most important, and considered decoration detracts from the monumentality of his work. This monumentality went along with the prevailing architecture of that period. His work fit in De Stijl related architecture, which expressed clarity and simplicity. Also, his work is related to the abstract-geometric art production in the Netherlands after De Stijl. Van der Vaart's work is of clear form, focusing on the use object and undecorated. Vases have been preferred, as well as a construction in turning or casting technique. His designs are blocky, simple and sober: Many clean lines with soft gliding, often sloping surfaces. In addition, Van der Vaart makes ceramics in a more complex style. His work is also distinguished by the special tinted glazes which he put on his vases, mainly the bronze glaze. Van der Vaart wanted to create useful quality ceramics for a wide audience. Thus arose the next are unique 'multiples', objects that have been made in limited editions and signed. As a result, they got the authenticity of unique works of art and at the same time remain affordable. Both are unique as for its multiples, use is often made of the casting technique. In the case of the multiples, the shapes are common in the assembly from a mold, for the unica multiple parts are molded separately, which are then later combined into a single unit His work hardly build on predecessors, only influences of foreign ceramists were featured in his work. Jan van der Vaart greatly admired the German ceramist Hans Copers, and the English ceramist Lucie Rie."
