DESCRIPTION:
Offered for your careful review and consideration is this extraordinary and exceedingly rare early work by well-known and well-listed American Modernist ceramic artist
Marilyn Fox.
Her figurative and abstract ceramic works, often hand-built, using slab clay construction, are held in many private, as well as public collections. This incredible figurative work, features abstract elements and selective figurative articulation, where the details are subjective and the artist chooses which human elements to develop and emphasize and which elements to leave less developed and abstract. This fluctuation between the naturalistic and the abstract, is where the work of the American master ceramic artist
Marilyn Fox
particularly excels and is most notable. The artist uses kiln fired red clay, with charcoal and a much lighter charcoal wash over the matte, unglazed red clay base clay. The three gossiping ladies sit together on a park bench sharing intimate and guarded secrets, locked in the vice-grip of each other's presence. Compelling and visually arresting. Immediate and extremely direct. Very clean. Gorgeous Modernist figurative ceramic art by the American master
Marilyn Fox.
Extraordinary.
