Rut Bryk, Stoneware Dish with Scraped-Off Paintings, Arabia, Finland 1940's

Rut Bryk , Stoneware Gold relief heat-transferred flowers, Arabia, Finland 1960's Impressed "BRYK" Born to an Austrian father, Feliks, and a Finnish mother, Aino, Rut Bryk (1916-1999) spent her childhood in Stockholm. Influenced by her father, a butterfly researcher and painter, she became familiar with nature and art. As a student, she dreamed of becoming an architect, but gave up the idea because of opposition from others. She turned to graphic design, and his delicate and poetic view of the world caught the attention of the Arabia Pottery, where she joined as an artist in the Fine Arts Department in 1942. This is a small gilt block relief piece by Rut Bryk, an artist who worked for the Finnish company Arabia. In the late 50's and early 60's, she produced a series of relief works composed of tiles and blocks for walls and floors, such as city series and icons. The plate is painted with gold paint, and a rose pattern is printed on it by heat transfer. This gilded and heat-transferred rose motif seems to have been produced since 1960, and the same motif is also used on ash trays and other items. In the late 1960s, the artist moved to more abstract relief work, and this gilt and rose piece was made between 1960 and 1965. The same type of blocks are also found inlaid in the "Adam and Eve," a wall piece created by laying down blocks of various sizes, indicating that the blocks were also used in religious motifs such as Christian icons...
