André Metthey
ca. 1912 · Earthenware · Modern and Contemporary Art
At a time when many decorative artists were mining the sources of their craft for material to transform into new, meaningful forms of expression, the archetype of the human figure continued to inspire: the elegant, active, and muscular figures of Adam and Eve—together with the acanthus-tip border—demonstrate Metthey’s interest in Hellenic pottery.
