Information: A longtime member of the esteemed Association of Hungarian Folk Artists, master ceramicist Imre Szűcs resides in Tiszafüred, a picturesque, forested town in central Hungary. It is an area rich in natural resources, which Szűcs employs in his ornately decorated pottery. Clay is regionally sourced, and so is paint which is created from natural dyes culled from mineral-rich mountains surrounding the town. Examples of his work are on display at the International Museum of Folk Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. When he first began making ceramics in the 1960s, Imre visited Hungarian museums to glean a sense of traditional colors and motifs; a soft, pale green typical of 18th century, for example, is frequently incorporated in his pottery, and black vases and vessels molded into the shapes of roosters, covered allover in multi-hued, immaculately applied designs, are standout items from the artist. Common decorative themes, oftentimes painted by Imre’s wife, include floral, animal, and vegetal elements, which became characteristic of these ceramics in the 19th century.
