Antique Early 20C Austrian Wiener Keramik Michael Powolny Pottery Woman Lamp
(Michael Powolny 1871 - 1954)
The Austrian ceramicist and glassware designer Michael Powolny was an important figure in the development of modernist aesthetics in Vienna at the turn of the 20th century. His romantic sculptural pottery figures embrace the lush dynamic stylings of Gustav Klimt and other progressive artists but later joined in the modernizing movement in the Austrian arts at the close of the 19th century. In 1897, Klimt. Hoffman, Koloman Moser and other artists and architects founded the Vienna Secession, a group that fought for freedom of expression against the city\'s tradition bound arts establishment. Powolny\'s work reflects the changing times. He used classical figures in his ceramics - females, nudes, cherubs, yet would dress them in modern ornamnent such as garlands of abstract, geometric flowers. Powolny received classical training in ceramics from his father, a potter and at the Vienna School of Applied Arts. His works have a double appeal in their sprightly, endearing forms and as artifacts that document a period of change in the history of modern arts & crafts.Up for offers is thisAntique Early 20thC Austrian Wiener Keramik Michael Powolny Pottery Woman Lamp.
