modernist italian ceramics

Sebastian Matta
1954

Italian ceramics 
of the Post-War years 
are a passion
of mine,
 so I'm not quite sure why 
haven't posted more on them.
Probably because there aren't many
good books out there.
Even the one 
I got these images from,
 was a pain in the ass
since all the images 
are grouped and collaged 
and laid over 
each other
like a big vomit party.
I guess if I was good at Photoshoppe
I could do a better job,
but here you go,
10 of my favorites 
that I could actually separate easily from
the barf bowl...

  1. Delving into the realm of the shameless and pointless - Here is an Italian ceramic that I missed that has haunted me - any info would be greatly appreciated- Do you think it is Aldo Londi?
