David Holleman Mosaic Tile Art Panel with Sgraffito Illustratration
About the Item
Mid-Century Modern era mosaic tile art panel by celebrated artist, David Holleman (1927-2020). Holleman is a prolific artist with a storied career spanning the better part of the 20th century and into the 21st. During his time serving with the US Army in Berlin, he became influenced by German Expressionist painter Carl Hofer. Once Holleman returned to the US he turned to ceramics as his primary medium. Despite winning national prizes for his pottery, he endeavored to further explore the medium. Holleman began working with his hallmark, mosaic tiles. Holleman produced over 50 mosaic tile murals in churches, temples, hospitals, colleges, and private collections in the USA and worldwide. In addition, Holleman exhibited throughout the world with his works held in private and museum collections.
Much of Holleman’s work explores the human experience, often borrowing themes from literature or the bible. These scenes are illustrated on sgraffito tiles… etched lines contrasting the top glaze. This piece features two sgraffito medical scenes. The top scene depicts what appears to be a surgery. The lower illustration appears to be a psychological exam. There is an arch of geometric sgraffito drawings above the two scenes. The entire panel is decorated in a mosaic of small gold metallic, glassy blue, red, marbled slate, and terra cotta colored tiles. The piece is assembled on a wood panel, framed in teak trim and black wood. Holleman’s signature is present at lower right. This piece has a wire on back, ready to hang. The mosaic is undated, but our guess is 1950's.
