Mid Century Ceramic Wall Cross, Red & Beige, Hand Made Studio Pottery, Europe
About the Item
This wall cross is compact in wingspan and proportions, possessing a substantial thickness. The Christ figure on the cross radiates a glowy glossy red hue across most of the cross's surface, while the sides of the cross exhibit a glossy granite-like texture.
What sets this piece apart is the embossed beige Christ, outlined in a caramel thin line, seemingly carved into the cross, an unusual feature in this field. The style of the Christ depiction is equally unique, with a modernist and distinctly modern aesthetic, reminiscent of a Milton Glaser graphic design artwork.
This artwork reflects the work of a skilled artist who demonstrates mastery of their craft and a distinct visual language. Embossed signature.
Our European cross collection (Tradition & Modernism) is composed of one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces made by Studio Pottery artists from the 1950s to 1970s. They show a range of diverse styles, from modernism to brutalism. Each artist has taken a unique approach to depict faith through the language of art and the medium of ceramics. This large collection offers an opportunity to curate a custom wall of modernist crucifixes, and appeals to those who appreciate the symbolism and beauty of religious artifacts.
