The form explicitly makes numerous references to historical decorative arts, from the pedestal like base, to the French curl in the center to the golden finial. It mixes these references into a postmodern whole: an object that is curiously familiar yet completely original. The surface painting expertly replicates faux bois, an imitation wood pattern seen in trompe l’oeil ceramics as well as in other media. The faux bois also references Pablo Picasso’s use of wood grain patterns in the early 20th century, deftly positioning the work at the nexus of historical decorative arts, Modernism, and Postmodernism.Modern and Contemporary Ceramicshttps://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/objects/7818/rdfhttps://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/internal/media/dispatcher/30351/fullElixir Vitae1992[Adrian Saxe]Porcelain and mixed mediaModern and Contemporary Ceramicshttps://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/objects/9765/rdfhttps://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/internal/media/dispatcher/30354/fullUntitled Covered Jar on Stand with Antelope Finial1982[Adrian Saxe]Porcelain, raku, stoneware and lustresModern and Contemporary Ceramicshttps://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/objects/9769/rdfhttps://emuseum.gardinermuseum.com/internal/media/dispatcher/10182/fullMoonrocks1996[Adrian Saxe, Adrian Saxe]Porcelain, glazed, lustre; found objectsTeapot composed of handbuilt thin body, with thrown lid with a stone finial, and cast spout and handle.
