Bodil Manz (born 1943)
‘The Russian Group’
2007
Danish ceramicist Bodil Manz exploits
the delicacy and translucency of porcelain.
The bold graphic decoration she applies
to the surface of her cylinders is clearly visible
through their fragile walls. Inspired by Russian
abstract painting of the 1910s and 1920s,
the geometrical design used here develops
progressively through the 16 pieces.
Made in Hørve, Denmark
Porcelain, slip-cast, with decoration cut
from monochrome transfers
Museum no. C.82:1 to 16-2007
Acquired through the generosity of Gerard and Sarah Griffin
