Soleil, by Roland Zobel, Les Cyclades, Anduze, France, circa 1970

About the Item

Ceramic sun-shaped mask with polychrome enamels. The central face is highlighted in yellow and white. Openwork spaces between the various rays emanating from the face. Signed ‘Les Cyclades, pièce unique’ on the back. Diameter: 48 cm (18.9 inches) Thickness: 6 cm (2.36 inches) Biography After studying at the Fine Arts School in Bourges and the International School of Ceramics in Faenza, Italy, Roland Zobel (1945-2006) settled in the Cévennes, in Anduze – a town with a great pottery tradition. His studio, Les Cyclades, was the setting for the creation of his terracottas in the 1950s. His art revealed itself in a mosaic of colours and motifs in a charmingly naive style.

A pair of sand pictures by Benjamin Zobel after paintings by de Loutherbourg
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
These extraordinary ‘paintings’ were created using coloured grains of sand rather than paints. Each is after an original painting by Philip James de Loutherbourg. The first scene shows the Battle of Hastings with a central mounted figure, presumably William the Conqueror, with a red plume in his helmet, raising his sword against a fighter on foot. A printed version of this image, shown above, was made by William Bromley. (See the British Museum registration number 1858,1009.115 for a fine impression.) The second scene, composed with a similar central mounted knight with a raised axe (sword in the original) represents Richard the Lionheart in combat against Saladin at the Battle of Acre. In this case the print was made by Anker Smith...
