"Indian Chief and Family, " Important WPA-Era Sculpture by Seaver, 1930s

About the Item

This remarkable ceramic sculpture, probably the best work of Elisabeth Andersen Seaver, one of the famous Cleveland School ceramicists -- depicts an Indian chief with full feather headdress, with his wife and child, all in snowy-white dress. Seaver skillfully contrasts the ivory, blue and deep pink tones of her glazes with areas of transparent glaze which reveal the lovely, ruddy color of the clay. Seaver is probably best known for her designs for the Cowan Studios, which also commissioned designs from Waylande Gregory, Viktor Schreckengost, and other great sculptors of the day.
