Midcentury Modern Wall Cross - Greens & White, Handmade Studio Pottery
About the Item
This ceramic wall cross, hand-painted in textured greens and ocher beige, features a depiction of Christ in painted white. The angular portrayal of Christ, rendered in straight terracotta lines, stands at the center of a cross with larger ends. This atypical composition results in a fine and powerful visual arrangement, showcasing the artist's craftsmanship and unique artistic vision.
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.
In the process known as "iconographic synthesis," artists merge artistic expression with traditional religious iconography, blending established symbols, motifs, and narratives with contemporary artistic styles. This thoughtful and deliberate endeavor demands both artistic skill and a profound understanding of the cultural and spiritual significance of the subject matter. Through this synthesis, artists create works that reflect their individual creativity while honoring centuries-old traditions of religious imagery. The resulting artworks resonate with both aesthetic and spiritual significance, offering viewers a seamless integration of artistic and religious elements.
