About the Item

Astonishingly modern in color, texture and subject matter, this handled jug by the great mid century master, Guido Gambone, shows the clear influence of Cubism and Pablo Picasso in its depiction of a bumblebee with a wild, fractured face. The bee is shown in white with a Mediterranean blue outline, on a background of rich purple, all demonstrating the rich palette and rough, crystalline textures that Gambone is known for.
