Expressionist Ceramic Sculpture Based on "The Cat Butler" by Diego Giacometti

About the Item

Early 20th century Expressionist glazed ceramic sculpture based on "The Cat Butler" by Diego Giacometti By: Diego Giacometti (in the style of) Material: ceramic, enamel Technique: molded, pressed, enameled, glazed, polished Dimensions: 8.5 in x 5.5 in x 17 in Date: early 20th century Style: Expressionism Place of origin: France This glazed ceramic sculpture exemplifies Diego Giacometti's Expressionist style. Inspired by his bronze "The Cat Butler," the work depicts an anthropomorphic feline figure standing upright on its hind legs, tail acting as rear support executed in thick, earth-toned and greenish glazes. The cat stands on an integrated rectangular base made of the same material, unified with the rest of the sculptural composition. The lively rendering reflects Giacometti's creative vision and avant-garde approach, as his sculptures often feature abstracted forms that evoke an emotional response. This rare ceramic sculpture offers a glimpse into the acclaimed artist's innovative aesthetic and mastery of his medium. While lacking signatures, the work encapsulates Giacometti's style.
