LEE McCARTY (American)of Merigold, Mississippi (1923-2015)
\'Modernist Ceramic Wren Bird Sculpture/Art just gorgeous example of American Modernist ceramic artist Lee McCarty\'s work of Merigold, Mississippi, depicting a perched wren, with turned head & decoratedin nutmeg, charcoal & dark vanilla, smooth satin glaze andultramarine glazed lined eyes, is in near original, almost perfect condition. It features forked, tooled incision marks or \'raking\' into the ceramic surface, with a complex, variegated decoration, punctuated with ultramarine glaze color, selectively coloring the eye sockets. The sculpture is without hairline cracks, flea-bites, abrasions or any other condition issues. It\'s rare that I can make the claim that an item is \'mint,\' but this may be just such a case. The tip of the wren\'s beak is untouched and there\'s no area on the figure, which departs from it\'s original constitution. The surface resembles Italian Modernist ceramic art of the same period, with a tactile plasticity in strong evidence. The eyes are punched out with a utensil & the form is hand-built & \'felt.\' This is just a fabulous American Modernist work by the legendary, late American ceramic artist Lee McCarty!
Condition: Excellent/Immaculate/Near Mint, with no cracks, chips, abrasions or nicks. It\'s signed on the bottom \'McCarty\' in cursive script, with a signature push hole into the base of the clay.
Dimensions:6\" tall x 5 ½\" at its widest point
