Faenza ceramic sculpture

About the Item

The sculpture, depicting a cat, is made of white-painted and glazed ceramic, except for the animal's collar with the bell (light brown) and the pillow, which is the base on which the cat rests (dark brown). The work is attributed to Wanda Berasi (Trento 1926 - Faenza 2022), aka Muky, a visual artist and poet specializing in ceramics, as well as a companion of Domenico Matteucci, director of the Faenza ceramics school. The subject is interesting in that the cat is depicted with its eyes closed, as if it were in a moment of reflection.

Ceramic Centerpiece by Carlo Zauli from Faenza, Italy 1970
By Carlo Zauli
Located in Milan, Italy
Ceramic (Grés) centerpiece designed and produced by Carlo Zauli in 1970. Unique piece. Signed. Biography: Carlo Zauli (Faenza, 1926-2002) is one of the great names in post-war Italian sculpture. Like other masters of previous generations, from Martini to Fontana and Leoncillo, his technical training was in the field of ceramic art. Zauli moved away from its formal principles in the sixties, however, when his work moved towards a complex form of sculptural research of great expressive richness. The shift from informal territories towards a reasoning about geometrical forms as rhetorical structures brought him into the heart of the sculptural debate of those years. The solo exhibition at the Montenapoleone Gallery of Milan in 1957 fitted in perfectly with other works that were part of a trend towards an integration of the arts (frieze for the palace in Baghdad, 1958; frieze for the government printing office...
